One more unusual hotel, Omm Hotel is distinguished by its unusual creative design and is conveniently located in the heart of the city. Its façade reminds of an open book, which pages rustle with a breath of wind. These book pages cover balconies, protecting privacy of hotel guests, but allow sunrays enter guestrooms. Behind such an unusual façade you will find elegant modern design. Dark halls make a striking contrast with light and spacious guestrooms with a sophisticated lightning system. Planning of the rooms has no excessive details, but that doesn’t harm comfort in any way. Bathrooms with transparent walls only let more light penetrate the rooms, making them look bigger and lighter. The name of the hotel itself – Omm – is an unusual relaxing sound of a mantra.
