Art store

The Silk Road Boutique Hotel's art store is a curated space featuring a unique selection of original items created by Siberian artisans specifically for the project. The store is conceived as a continuation of the general concept of the hotel and offers guests the opportunity to touch the local culture through objects, rather than through souvenir cliches.

Each item in the range is selected taking into account aesthetics, quality of execution and semantic value.

Collections and destinations

The art store presents products in different formats, united by the idea of travel and place. The range includes collections of T-shirts and hoodies, soy candles with original scents, books about Lake Baikal translated into English and Chinese, as well as art objects.

Special attention is paid to accessories, including Ocularia brand glasses, which complement the store's concept as a modern design space.

Local identity and handwork

The art store is based on products created by Siberian artisans. These are author's works that combine manual labor, local context, and a modern interpretation of the form. This approach allows us to show the region not through mass images, but through objects with character.

For the guests, the art store becomes an opportunity to purchase items related to Irkutsk and Lake Baikal, but made at the level of modern design.

Art store as part of the experience

The store is not perceived as a separate shopping area. It is integrated into the hotel space and logically complements the experience of living. Guests can visit the art store without haste, in a comfortable atmosphere, considering the objects as part of the overall visual and cultural context.

This format is especially appreciated by travelers who are looking for meaningful gifts and designer souvenirs in Irkutsk.

Who the art store was created for

The Silk Road art Store is aimed at guests who:

• appreciate original items and handmade work,
• looking for designer gifts with a local identity,
• they want to take with them not just a souvenir, but a part of the impressions of the trip,
• they are interested in modern art and design.

The importance of the art store for the hotel

The art store reinforces the positioning of Silk Road as a boutique hotel with its own cultural environment. It emphasizes attention to detail and forms an additional point of contact between the guest and the brand, going beyond the standard hotel service.
