"Overlooking Baku Bay with views of the Caspian and the Flame Towers, InterContinental Baku delivers contemporary elegance to one of the city’s most historic corners. Its design draws from Azerbaijan’s oil-boom architecture, layered with details inspired by 12th-century poet Nizami Ganjavi. Rooms are well-proportioned and light-filled, some with balconies that open onto the sea. There’s a hammam-equipped spa, an indoor pool, and a restaurant that blends Mediterranean dishes with local favorites, which makes it a well-composed base just steps from the Old City and Baku Boulevard." - Tablet Hotels
