Where To Stay in Baku

I chose to stay outside of the main city centre, downtown area of Baku. I did this partly because of price and partly because I wanted to stay in a self catering apartment.

There were some challenges with staying where I did – this mainly involved finding my way there and back. However, these challenges were pretty minor and gave me a good insight into local life and some experiences I may not have had otherwise.

I paid £75 for 3 nights in a self catering apartment.

There are now a number of self catering apartments available to rent in this area of Baku.

Fairmont Hotel – Flame Towers Baku

The Fairmont Hotel in Baku is likely to be one of the most expensive stays in the city, but with good reason.

The hotel is located inside the Flame Towers, and what a hotel it is too!

It has a spa, 3 swimming pools, 5 restaurants and bars and beautiful well appointed rooms.

For the best views choose those with sea views. You will then enjoy fantastic views across the Caspian Sea and over the promenade area of Baku. It’s spectacular at any time of day, but even more so at night time.

The Flame Towers is also home to an IMAX cinema too!

Intercontinental Hotel

The Intercontinental is another luxury option in Baku.

Rooms have all the mod cons you would expect from a luxury hotel. Public rooms are lovely, tastefully decorated and great for relaxing in after a busy day exploring.

The Intercontinental has a small swimming pool and a Turkish bath at the hotel as well.

The location is great. It’s within easy access of the promenade, the main square, the old town, the metro system and the shopping area of Baku. Everything is pretty much on the doorstep.

Grand Hotel Baku Park

If you love a bit of greenery and nature then the Grand Hotel Baku Park might be a great option for you.

As the name suggests it is located close to one of the parks in Baku.

The great thing is that the location means everything in the city centre is still within easy walking distance.

This hotel is ideal for exploring the city and also enjoying staying in a greenspace. (There is main road that runs close to one side of the hotel, but the bar and breakfast area look over the park).

Rooms are comfortable and spacious an this hotel has great reviews for it’s hospitality too.
