The most important thing every traveler pays attention to is the place to stay. During my recent trip to Baku, I stayed at a hotel I’m already planning to return to — and can confidently recommend.
If you’re planning a trip to Baku and looking for a calm, elegant, and centrally located hotel, the Courtyard by Marriott Baku is a perfect choice. I stayed there during my recent visit, and it was one of the most comfortable and convenient experiences I’ve had in Azerbaijan’s capital.
Location & First Impressions
The hotel is located close to downtown Baku, within easy walking distance of many must-see attractions including the Baku Boulevard, charming old streets, and the city’s modern seaside views.
At night, the Courtyard by Marriott Baku stands out beautifully, its lights adding to the city’s vibrant skyline.
Rooms & Comfort
I stayed in a Guest Room King, which was spacious, clean, and smoke-free. The interior design is minimalist yet cozy, ideal for relaxing after a long day of exploring.
The atmosphere throughout the hotel is very calm; I couldn’t hear any corridor noise or disturbances. It’s the kind of place where you can truly unwind, whether you’re traveling for work or leisure.
Room rate: around 145 AZN per night (for a 4-night stay), though the price may differ as I was hosted by the work event organizers and the hotel could have special rates for such collaborations.
Staff & Service
The service was exceptional. From the front desk to the cleaning staff, everyone was kind, attentive, and professional. Small details — like friendly greetings, quick responses, and genuine helpfulness — made a big difference in my experience. And I notice it immediately.
Breakfast at Courtyard by Marriott Baku
Breakfast here deserves a special mention. The buffet spread is generous and diverse — with fresh pastries, fruits, cheeses, cereals, and a great coffee machine, fresh juices and many more. There are also live cooking stations, where chefs prepare eggs or traditional Azerbaijani dishes on the spot.
Gym & Spa
Very necessary for fitness lovers is the existence of the gym and facilities to workout. The gym is modern, free, fully equipped, and usually quite perfect for a short morning workout before heading out. Guests can also access the spa
Overall Impression
Courtyard by Marriott Baku delivers everything you’d expect from a Marriott-level experience, comfort, cleanliness, and outstanding service, with the bonus of a prime central location.
Whether you’re in Baku for a business trip, city break, or cultural getaway, I recommend staying here, this hotel offers a reliable and peaceful base to enjoy the city from.
