Khiva is homeland to incomparable architectural monuments that date back to several centuries. However, in the recent past, the remarkable architectural heritage of Khiva has suffered destruction caused by negative factors of environment and human activity. Hotel Orient Star has made a great contribution by renovating the premises of Amin-khan Madrasah. The building has undergone both capital renovation and superficial renewal, and yet, has retained its original architecture and décor. Today, the citizens and visitors of Khiva have the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Khiva's biggest madrasah.
