The Merchant Baku, Baku

Located in the heart of Baku in a stunning historical building which once housed the Caspian Shipping Company, The Merchant Baku will be a highlight for any guest. Paying homage to the iconic architecture of the 1850s building, the hotel combines contemporary design and luxury comforts with original features and vintage furniture. Striking murals of old merchant ships decorate the walls whilst traditional Azerbaijani rugs cover the marble floors, matched with modern-day artwork and decor throughout. The spacious rooms are beautifully decorated with a wide selection of amenities and stylish tiled bathrooms. One of the real highlights of the property is the impressive bar lounge and dining area, with grand archways and a glass roof, and a magnificent ceramic fireplace which is one of many original features in the hotel that harks back to when Baku was known as the ‘Paris of the Caucasus’. For those more active guests there is also a small but well-equipped gym.
