The Silk Road Samarkand Tourist Center is one of the most ambitious hospitality developments ever realized in Central Asia. Built between 2019 and 2022 for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit, the project was designed to host heads of state, official delegations, and international guests within a completely new tourism district. Developed from scratch around the Samarkand rowing canal, the project transformed an undeveloped area into a modern destination combining eight hotels, more than 1500 rooms, a congress center, and extensive public infrastructure. The objective was to create a fully integrated hospitality ecosystem meeting international standards in terms of guest comfort, automation, energy efficiency, and reliability. The entire complex had to be delivered in less than three years, with multiple hotels built simultaneously. This timeframe coincided with the global COVID-19 pandemic, which introduced supply chain disruptions, logistical constraints, and construction limitations. Despite these conditions, Legrand mobilized international teams and local partners to ensure successful and timely delivery.
