The Watergate Hotel Baku
Balcony rooms with strong transport links
About this hotel
The Watergate Hotel Baku keeps family rooms practical, a work desk, free WiFi and a balcony with city views as standard, and backs it with strong transport links that matter once race-day road closures reroute the usual way around the city. The paid shuttle service is a genuine extra for anyone not wanting to navigate closures alone, and the on-site minimarket and hairdresser cover last-minute needs without a special trip out. Private check-in and check-out plus a 24-hour front desk mean an odd arrival or departure time around race sessions doesn't need advance warning. The on-site hairdresser is an unusual but genuinely useful extra for anyone wanting to look sharp for a paddock walkabout or a VIP evening.

Our take
A practical, well-connected family pick for a group that wants transport links sorted and a balcony to unwind on. Fans wanting a spa floor or an Old City address will find better matches further up this list. Fans wanting a spa floor or an Old City address will find better matches further up this list.
- ✓Book the paid shuttle ahead of race day rather than arranging it on arrival.
- ✓Use private check-in if your arrival time clashes with race-day traffic near the property.
- ✓Rely on the strong transport links instead of driving once the roads around the circuit close.
