The Merchant Baku
A fitness-and-terrace base with two dining moods
About this hotel
The Merchant Baku covers a family-room basic without cutting corners, air-conditioning, minibar and free WiFi in every room, and adds a fitness centre for anyone keeping up a routine over a long race weekend away from home. The restaurant switches between a modern, family-friendly mood and a more romantic setting depending on the evening, useful for a group that wants a relaxed dinner one night and something more special the next. The terrace and bar give a spot to unwind once the day's sessions are done and the group wants to compare notes on the race. The bar stays open late enough for a group still buzzing after a strong qualifying session or an eventful race afternoon.

Our take
A well-rounded pick for a family or small group wanting a fitness centre, a flexible restaurant mood and a terrace to debrief on. It's not the choice for anyone chasing an Old City address or five-star spa facilities. It's not the choice for anyone chasing an Old City address or five-star spa facilities.
