Radisson Hotel Baku
Harbour and Old City views from a central base
About this hotel
Radisson Hotel Baku looks out over both the Caspian harbour and the Old City, putting the same landmarks the circuit runs past right outside the window rather than somewhere a shuttle has to reach. The breakfast buffet at Lagom Restaurant and drinks with a Seaside Boulevard view at Lagom Bar give the day proper bookends, and race broadcasts on site mean a session doesn't have to be missed while the group is out enjoying the harbour. Rooms are simply equipped with hot drinks facilities and a minibar, keeping the basics covered without excess. Hot drinks facilities in the room are a small but welcome touch on a cool Baku evening after a long day standing near the barriers.

Our take
Fans who want a central Baku base with harbour and Old City views will find Radisson Hotel Baku well placed for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. I like the views, the restaurant, bar and fitness centre, and the race broadcasts on site. It is not a resort with a full spa, and groups wanting quiet, spread-out space away from the centre should consider a more residential option.
- ✓Book a harbour-view room early, they're the first to go for race week.
- ✓Watch a missed session at the on-site race broadcast rather than chasing a signal elsewhere.
- ✓Have a Seaside Boulevard evening drink at Lagom Bar between race-weekend sessions.
