I would absolutely believe that this was coincidence or unintentional "borrowing" or "inspiration" if the name of the location wasn't literally "Azura Deluxe Hotels." At that point it's pretty blatent.

Edit response to parent edit: I can't find any iconography that represents the religious Azura (or Ishtar) with both the Sun and Moon, especially as depicted in this statue, outside of the Elder Scrolls universe. Happy to be proven wrong, but I think it's clear which party was influenced by the other.
