Fairmont Baku, Flame Towers: What It's Like to Stay Inside Baku's Icon
Updated October 2026 · 6 min read
One of the three Flame Towers is entirely given over to Fairmont Baku, Flame Towers — the five-star hotel that occupies floors 30 to 39 of Baku's tallest building. Staying here means sleeping inside the landmark itself: 299 rooms and suites, glass walls framing the Caspian Sea or the Old City, and the whole of Baku spread out below.
Rooms and suites
The 299 rooms and suites range from deluxe king rooms to signature sea-view suites and the Fairmont Gold floors — a hotel-within-a-hotel with private check-in, lounge and dedicated concierge. Floor-to-ceiling glazing is the constant: every room looks either over Baku Bay and the Caspian Sea or across the city toward the Old City.
Restaurants and bars
- Samovar — all-day dining with Azerbaijani and international classics and a generous breakfast spread.
- Le Bistro — French-inspired fine dining on the upper floors.
- 1885 Bar — cocktails named after Fairmont landmarks, with the skyline as the backdrop.
- Cnas Bar — a relaxed lobby-level lounge for coffee and evening drinks.
Carol Joy Spa, pool and wellness
The Carol Joy Spa spans multiple treatment floors with an indoor pool, hammam, fitness centre and treatment rooms using British skincare brand Carol Joy London. The indoor pool with its panorama over the bay is one of the most photographed hotel pools in the Caucasus.
Events and weddings
The hotel operates grand ballrooms and meeting halls that host state-level events, conferences and weddings — with catering and planning handled in-house. It is the venue choice for international summits hosted in Baku.
Good to know before you book
- Getting there: the hotel sits at the top of the hill above the city; most guests arrive by taxi (roughly 10 minutes from Fizuli Street), and the funicular and Highland Park are a short walk away.
- Airport transfer: Heydar Aliyev International Airport is about 25–30 minutes by car; the hotel can arrange private transfers.
- Best rooms for the view: ask for a Caspian Sea-facing category on a high floor for the bay and Old City panorama in one frame.
