Azadliq Square gives JW Marriott Absheron Baku a direct relationship with the Caspian waterfront, Baku Boulevard and the city’s commercial centre. Behind its substantial modern façade, rooms are spacious and calm, with broad windows and a composed international style. Restaurants, lounges, spa facilities, an indoor pool and executive areas create a complete city-hotel setting without pulling attention away from the location. The hotel works because Baku feels close throughout the stay, from the promenade and Old City to the capital’s striking contemporary architecture. It feels particularly anchored by the square and the openness of the waterfront.
