Hyatt Regency Baku
Group-friendly base with pools and race broadcasts
About this hotel
Hyatt Regency Baku is the rare property on this list tagged for groups as well as families, with enough space and flexible rooms to actually hold a crew of fans together rather than scattering them across the hotel. The historic-district setting puts guests within reach of the circuit's Old City section, and indoor and outdoor pools with a hot tub give the whole group somewhere to decompress after a day standing in the heat. Strong transport links matter on a street-circuit weekend when the usual routes shut, and race broadcasts on site mean the group never has to choose between a session and staying together. The classy Mezzo Restaurant gives the whole group somewhere to sit down together after a long day split across grandstands and the paddock area.

Our take
The clear pick for a bigger crew of fans who want to stay under one roof rather than splitting across smaller hotels. Couples or solo travellers chasing an intimate boutique feel will find better options elsewhere on this list. A solo traveller or couple wanting an intimate boutique stay will likely find the property's scale a bit much.
- ✓Book connecting or nearby rooms early if your group is more than four people.
- ✓Use the strong transport links rather than driving once race-day closures start.
- ✓Confirm the race broadcast schedule at the hotel if the group's tickets don't cover the full weekend.
