One of Baku’s latest luxury launches, The Ritz-Carlton, Baku, is a refined property in the Azerbaijani capital, centred around modern amenities and local traditions, The Ritz-Carlton’s renowned hospitality, and a refined approach to urban escapism.

Sitting across from the Heydar Aliyev Center, which was designed by the legendary architect Zaha Hadid, the hotel reaches over an impressive 33 storeys, with 190 rooms and suites to cherry pick from, many of which offer private balconies and terraces with views over the city or the scintillating Caspian Sea.

If you really want to flex your freedom, spread out over the 608-metre Presidential Suite, with its private living room, dining room and gym. Beautiful cultural immersions come courtesy of daily music performances with a Whaletone piano and traditional Azerbaijani music, accompanied by a local dancer.

Dip into one of the two pools found within the gorgeous The Ritz-Carlton Spa, feast at the American-style brasserie, Tribeca, then sip cocktails at the speakeasy-inspired Blind Tiger. Book the Stay Longer On Us offer for a minimum of three nights, and the hotel will gift you 20 per cent discount.
