“The gusty wind Khazri swept through Baku, scouring every crevice, leaving behind air so pristine that it sparkled in the ginger sun like my mama’s favorite crystal vase.”
Ella Leya “The Orphan Sky”
Baku is the enigmatic capital of Azerbaijan and is an enchanted city where every corner tells a story. A story of magic, opulence, and legends.
Baku’s name is derived from the old Persian Bagavan, which means “City of God”. A folk etymology says that the name Baku is derived from the Persian Bādkube, meaning “city where the wind blows”, due to frequent winds blowing in the city.
Along the Caspian Sea, stands the elegant and refined Hotel Four Seasons, a real gem on the road between Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Four Seasons is in the perfect location, between the Caspian sea and the Caucasus mountains, perfectly in the center of Baku, just a few minutes away from the most important city attractions.
The full interiors of the hotel is luxury classic and in Beaux-Arts-style, it has 171 guest rooms, including 29 luxury suites, almost all open to a balcony with views of the Caspian Sea or the Old City… Facing the waterfront is really breathless.
The rooms are various range but all high level like the Superior rooms, with views of the city or park, the Deluxe Rooms, with balconies and fountain views, and Premier Rooms, with a rounded corner balcony with sea view. The suites are Executive, Presidential, and Specialty.
The Hotel has an Italian restaurant Zafferano, a whisky, and cigars bar Bentley’s, a salon for the afternoon tea Piazza and the in-room dining service.
Highly recommended an afternoon at the Jaleh Spa, for a facial or body treatment, and why not treat yourself with the heated lounge chair or with a dip in the whirlpool or ice fountain. Detox in the sauna or steam room.
Also, the concierge can help you to book any activity in the city and also suggest to you the best places and hidden gems to visit.
