Whether lolling about beneath the vaulted glass of the temple-like pool area, or stepping into the private elevator leading to Kaspia in preparation for tucking into a plate of perfectly prepared lemongrass marinated giant prawns, you’ll feel like it’s all about you at Four Seasons Baku. Contemporary plush applies to room décor in each of the 171 guestrooms and luxury suites. Most rooms feature balconies overlooking either the Caspian Sea or Old City, and all include twice-daily housekeeping service, thick robes and slippers, down duvets and pillows, satellite television, WiFi access and Blu-ray/DVD players.

The penthouse-level spa offers a wide selection of therapies and services that call upon wellness traditions from Eastern Europe and the Middle East, including a Turkish hammam steam bath and the decadent treatment featuring a luxurious golden oil. Don’t fall asleep after your massage, though — there’s a lot to see in this UNESCO World Heritage site, including the famous 12^th-century Maiden’s Tower, State Archaeological and Ethnographic Museum Complex, and Museum of Modern Art with its permanent collection of Azerbaijan figurative art and Metropolis Gallery of works by national artists and sculptors.
