The Full Moon Hotel was a proposed building in Baku, Azerbaijan on the western shore of the Caspian Sea. Hotel Full Moon's design originally appeared as a disc with rounded edges and a hole in one of the top corners, with aspects that appear radically different according to the angle it is seen from. The front aspect is reminiscent of a glass "Death Star" but from the side profile, it looks much like any ordinary glass tower. The Full Moon Hotel was planned to counterpoint the Aypara (Crescent Moon) Tower under construction around the bay in front of the Port Baku buildings adding to the 'new Dubai' feel of the city's 21st-century architecture.
