Absheron Region hotel guide. Fairmont hotel in Absheron Region, Azerbaijan

"Stayed for 5 nights in June. Lovely hotel, great locality. Really walkable into the old city and the Bay Area. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Felt very safe even in the evening. Lots of local families out enjoying the promenade etc. Fantastic options for shopping nearby including a small supermarket in the small mall opposite. Close to the F1 pit lanes. The views of the F1 track would be amazing during the Grand Prix. Lovely city, a great stay. "

"A great hotel in a great location. Whenever I come to Baku I usually stay here. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful. Other strong points are the bar/ restaurant, fitness center, and the 24-hour room service. Definitely, so room service one morning and order the Azerbaijani breakfast with tea. The views are also good looking out onto either Winter Park or the picturesque and historic Kubinka neighborhood, which I hear might unfortunately be demolished. The only negative thing I have to say is that the showers are designed oddly with one side completely open. If you’re not careful you can accidentally flood the bathroom, so ask for extra towels on your first night in case you get water all over the floor. Overall, a great hotel."

"I enjoyed my stay here. It is walkable to Heydar Aliyev Centre and there are many public transportation options. The breakfast was good and they also offer a buffet lunch for a small price. There are a few doner places nearby and a mini mart for small snacks. The only downside was that the walls are rather thin so you can hear the loud conversations from the the next room over and doors slamming throughout the night. The staff and service was good, I would stay here again."
