Four Seasons Opens New Hotel in Baku, Azerbaijan

Premier room at Four Seasons Baku

Four Seasons announced the opening of their newest property in Baku, Azerbaijan. The hotel features 142 guest rooms and 29 suites, four bars and restaurants, a spa, and over 20,000 square feet (1,865 square meters) of conference and function space.

The Four Seasons Baku is the chain’s 89th property worldwide and first in Azerbaijan. Keeping in line with other Four Seasons properties, the hotel is built in the Beaux-Arts style and overlooks Baku Boulevard, a promenade along the Caspian Sea. Amenities include Internet access, twice daily housekeeping service, marble bathrooms, and balconies with city or water views for many rooms. The Penthouse Spa includes Turkish-style hammams, as well as a fitness center and glass roofed pool.

The hotel caters to business travelers with five wood-paneled meeting rooms ranging in size from 495 to 1,582 square feet (46 to 147 square meters), videoconferencing facilities, and a professional support staff in the second-floor Baku conference center.

Baku is Azerbaijan’s capital and sits on the Caspian Sea. The former-Soviet city was once used as a trading center for the region’s oil and combines its architectural and cultural history with a growing wine industry, arts, and club scene.
