Do Not Disturb

“Hotels keep a secret both by law and by their purpose. A hotel is a temporary home. And a home is, above all, a fortress. A guest entrusts the hotel with their property, personal data, and details of private life. In other words, essentially their very self.”

Funny and touching, insightful and with a hint of sadness—but, above all, talented and vivid, the hotelier, owner, and general manager of the Hotel Helvetia, Yunis Teymurhanly, tells about the life of his boutique hotel and its guests. Here, like in a theatrical performance, drama and tragicomedy intertwine, adventures and a love lyric, realism and an eccentric farce.

Stories about the lives of idols and their pesky admirers, popular writers and foreign tourists, businessmen, sports stars, and ordinary visitors make it possible not only to visit the walls of an elite hotel as if for yourself, but also to reassess the eternal values of life in a new way.
