JW Marriott Absheron Baku Hotel
Freedom Square base, five minutes from everything
About this hotel
JW Marriott Absheron Baku Hotel sits right on Freedom Square, close enough that the city's main shopping, entertainment and business districts are all within a five-minute walk, which turns a downtime afternoon between race sessions into an actual outing rather than a hotel-bound wait. Spacious rooms come with a flat-screen TV, work desk and laptop safe, practical for anyone combining the race weekend with a work trip either side of it. Race broadcasts on site mean the group never has to pick between exploring Freedom Square and catching every lap. The laptop safe and work desk in every room mean the property doubles easily as a base for anyone extending the trip into a working week either side of the race.
- Freedom Square location

Our take
A five-star pick for fans who want a central, five-minute-walk base with genuine city buzz around it, not just circuit access. Anyone wanting total quiet away from the crowds should look at a more residential option instead. Anyone wanting total quiet away from the crowds should look at a more residential option instead.
- ✓Walk Freedom Square the evening before the race for the pre-Grand Prix atmosphere.
- ✓Reserve early, the central location makes this one of the first five-star options to sell out.
- ✓Use the on-site race broadcast if a session clashes with time spent exploring the square.
