The Best Hotels Near Dinamo Hotel Baku, by the Record



  1. Balconies that open onto the Caspian Sea, with the Flame Towers filling the skyline and the Old City a short walk downhill: the location does a lot of work here. The InterContinental is a full-service luxury hotel whose interiors quietly nod to Azerbaijani oil-boom architecture and the 12th-century poet Nizami Ganjavi. There's a hammam-equipped spa, an indoor pool, and a restaurant mixing Mediterranean and local dishes.


  2. A boutique hotel inside a stately building that once housed the Caspian Shipping Company, the Merchant Baku sits in the UNESCO-listed Old Town with the seaside promenade a short walk away. Rooms are spacious with high ceilings and natural light; suites add balconies over the city. The bar's summer terrace is quietly the best seat in the house. It holds a Michelin Key.



  3. Hand-woven kilim textiles and carved wood run through the individually designed rooms of this small boutique hotel on a quiet street just outside Baku's Old City walls. Balcony rooms look out over the neighborhood rooftops, and the Maiden Tower is a short walk. The scale keeps things unhurried, which suits a base for wandering the old quarter far better than a larger property would.
