Fairmont Baku, Flame Towers
Inside the Flame Towers, three minutes from Martyrs' Alley
About this hotel
Fairmont Baku, Flame Towers puts guests inside one of the skyline's defining landmarks, the same Flame Towers visible from stretches of the circuit's Boulevard section, with the whole of Baku City or the Caspian Sea laid out from panoramic windows depending on the room. A three-minute walk to Martyrs' Alley adds a quieter, reflective stop away from race-day noise, a contrast worth having over a busy weekend. Modern rooms with a fully-stocked minibar and contemporary decor keep the standard high, and the address alone puts the hotel among the most recognisable in the city for anyone navigating Baku for the first time. Contemporary decor throughout keeps the rooms feeling current rather than dated, a fitting match for a hotel inside one of the city's most modern landmarks.

Our take
Staying inside the Flame Towers is the reason to book Fairmont Baku for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix: the same towers you see from the circuit, with panoramic views over the city or the Caspian Sea from your room. Modern rooms and a three-minute walk to Martyrs' Alley round it out. I would choose it for a five-star weekend with a memorable address rather than for the shortest walk to the track.
- ✓Request a Caspian-facing room at booking if the sea view matters more than the city skyline.
- ✓Walk to Martyrs' Alley for a quiet break away from race-day crowds and noise.
- ✓Book well ahead, Flame Towers rooms are among the first five-star options to sell out for race week.

Why guests love itFairmont Baku sits inside the Flame Towers, the landmark visible from parts of the street circuit, and rooms look over Baku City or the Caspian Sea through panoramic windows. Rooms are modern and air-conditioned with a flat-screen TV and a fully stocked minibar, which I would ask the hotel to clear if you travel with young children. Martyrs' Alley is a three-minute walk away for a quieter outing between race days.
