Settling into the heart of Bak

Settling into the heart of Baku’s boulevard scene, I checked into the Four Seasons Hotel Baku 🌟—think sweeping Caspian Sea views, absolute luxury, and top-tier service at 1 Neftchilar Ave. What really stands out (besides the killer marble bathrooms and art-filled interiors)? The insane spotlessness! Housekeeping gets gold stars for making every corner sparkle; no dust bunnies hiding anywhere.

If you’re picky about hotel policies (I am!), here’s my practical scoop: double-check amenity details, like hot water schedules—sometimes info gets lost in translation. Also, heads-up if you need late check-out: fees here can surprise you compared to other luxury chains, so negotiate or clarify in advance with the front desk.

Stay hack: The location couldn’t be better for exploring Baku’s old-town Icherisheher and the buzzing waterfront. Walk right out for sunset strolls, or grab a cab to Flame Towers (about 10 min away). Getting around is easy—download the local taxi app, or try trip.com for seamless airport transfer bookings.

Food? The hotel’s Italian restaurant, Zafferano, serves up risotto and pizzas with a five-star touch. Downstairs lounge is perfect for tea or a late-night bite—don’t miss the signature Baku honey cake 🍰.

Money tip: USD and card payments are accepted everywhere, but grab some Azerbaijani Manat for local shopping. Weather’s best from April–October for those terrace views!
