The Mercure Bukhara Old Town is positioned at the edge of Bukhara’s UNESCO-listed old quarter, just a short walk from architectural treasures such as Lyabi-Hauz, the Kalyan Minaret, and the city’s labyrinthine bazaars. Designed to blend international comfort with local heritage, the hotel’s interiors draw inspiration from traditional Uzbek craftsmanship – ornamental woodwork, ceramic tiles, and warm tones echoing the city’s ancient madrassas while offering all the conveniences of a modern stay.
The guest rooms are designed to provide a sense of calm and refinement that complements the city’s ancient surroundings. Each room is finished in a palette of soft neutrals and warm ochres that echo the hues of Bukhara’s sun-baked brick architecture. Subtle touches of Uzbek artistry like handcrafted wooden fretwork, ceramic lamps, embroidered textiles, and carved wall panels lend a sense of place while maintaining a contemporary aesthetic.
Every room is equipped with modern conveniences expected of a premium international hotel. High-speed WiFi, individually controlled air-conditioning, and large flat-screen televisions with international channels, minibars are stocked with refreshments, and tea and coffee-making facilities are provided alongside bottled water replenished daily. The bedding features premium mattresses and crisp linens, ensuring a restful night’s sleep after long days exploring the historic sites. Bathrooms are sleek and well-lit, featuring rain showers or bathtubs, plush towels, magnifying mirrors, and a full set of branded toiletries.
Facilities include a serene spa and wellness complex featuring a traditional hammam, sauna, indoor pool, and fitness centre, ideal for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. The rooftop restaurant serves both local and international cuisine with sweeping views of Bukhara’s skyline, complemented by a stylish lobby bar for afternoon tea or evening cocktails.
