Baku Hotels Overview

Baku hotels industry enjoyed an unprecedented growth last decade with a number of brand new hotels opened its doors in Baku downtown.

Major international hotel chains brought their brands to Baku including Marriott, Hilton, Holiday Inn, Sheraton, Hyatt Regency, Dedeman, Ibis, etc. This served as a serious stimulus for the development of travel infrastructure and gave a boost to inbound tourism. Number of foreign visitors to Azerbaijan started to grow steadily and was around 1,5 million last year.

There are around 90-100 hotels in Baku with several more still under construction. According to official statistics Baku hotels can accommodate around 9000 guests at the same time. Interestingly, 53% of all Luxe rooms in Azerbaijan hotels are in Baku.

The economic crisis has affected the tourism industry forcing many hotels to revise pricing policies for their services. Many Baku hotels reduced room rates in an attempt to attract customers. Though some hotels still stick to pre-crisis rates and claim that the number of customers has not changed dramatically since recently. Many foreign visitors believe that hotels in Baku are too expensive and over-price its customers mainly due to oil business and presence of oil companies. There is just one hostel in Old City ideal for individual budget travelers that prefer to travel on their own just with rucksack on their back. There is no opportunity for them to find a cheap overnight accommodation in Baku. Most of the hotels offer expensive rooms with orientation to business people. One can hardly find a decent 3* hotel in Baku downtown for less than 100 USD per night.

Reputed Hotels in Baku

Despite this fact experts agree that Baku hotel infrastructure is the most developed in the whole Caspian Sea region. Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Azerbaijan implements a set of measures aimed at tightening control over the sphere of hotel business. Particular attention is paid to the development of Baku hotels facilities and standards of services provided, because Baku amounts about two-thirds of the total Azerbaijan tourist flow.

Apart from international hotel chains Baku boasts such reputed hotels as Azcot Hotel, Austin Hotel, Old City Inn, East Legend Panorama Hotel, Caspian Sea Port Hotel, Boutique Palace Hotel, Excelsior Hotel, Radisson SAS Plaza Hotel, Metropol Hotel and others.

Meanwhile, a growing interest to build a hotel in Baku is demonstrated by the operators of world-famous hotel networks, seeking to promote their brands in Baku. The Azerbaijan government has been negotiating on the construction of luxury hotels in Baku with such companies as Four seasons, Marriott, Kempinski, Rixos Hotel, Kingdom Hotels International, Sovereign Hospitality Holdings and other. By the way, the first Hyatt hotel in the CIS was opened in 1995 in Baku.

This landmark property meets and even exceeds the expectations of the corporate traveler with its contemporary design and a melange of classical architecture.
