The Central Point Hotel Baku
A central, balcony-view base close to the airport
About this hotel
The Central Point Hotel Baku lives up to its name, sitting under a kilometre from the centre while staying a manageable run from Heydar Aliyev International Airport for anyone flying in for race weekend. Family rooms come with balconies and city views, giving a group somewhere to actually sit outside between sessions rather than being stuck indoors, and the buffet breakfast is a useful anchor before a long day on foot near the circuit. Free WiFi throughout means the crew can check timing updates or track the queue at the entry gates without hunting for a signal. The buffet breakfast runs early enough to fuel a group heading out for a grandstand opening, which matters more than it sounds on a street-circuit weekend.

Our take
A solid middle-ground pick for a family or small group flying in and wanting a central, no-fuss base with a balcony to unwind on. It won't suit anyone chasing five-star spa facilities, but for a straightforward race weekend it does the job. A group wanting a spa floor or a party atmosphere close to the grandstands should look at a livelier, more central option.
- ✓Book a balcony room if you want somewhere to watch the sky before an early race start.
- ✓Fuel up at the buffet breakfast before a long day standing near the circuit.
- ✓Confirm airport transfer timing in advance, race-weekend traffic changes the usual routine.
