Few hotels can match the spectacle of Fairmont Baku, located high inside one of the city’s curving Flame Towers.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set high above the Caspian waterfront, the towers offer sweeping panoramas and quick access to the historic Old City downhill.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass frames panoramas of the Caspian Sea, while bathrooms feature deep soaking tubs and earthy stone finishes.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated indoor lap pool sits beneath sculpted ceilings, and the fifth-floor outdoor terrace looks over the Caspian Sea.
The spa and gym
Quiet sleep pods and a regional hammam fill the spa levels, set beside a hardwood-floored Technogym fitness studio.
At the table
Bar19 pours cocktails against nineteenth-floor skyline views, and Nur Lounge hosts afternoon tea and evening piano music.
How it began
The flame-shaped glass towers pay homage to Azerbaijan's historic moniker as the Land of Fire, illuminated by exterior LED displays nightly.
