A new Fairmont Hotel has been opened inside Azerbaijan's tallest building complex.
Fairmont Baku, Flame Towers, is also the luxury brand's first development in the emerging destination of Azerbaijan. The incredible building, designed by HOK, cost $350m (£226.1m, €263.2m) and is completely covered with LED screens that display the movement of a fire visible from the farthest points of Baku.
The hotel, located in one of the building's three towers, features 318 rooms and includes a spa, two tennis courts, 2,500sq m (26,900sq ft) of meeting space and a business centre.
The 2,500sq m (26,900sq ft) ESPA-branded spa includes seven treatment rooms, a traditional hammam and an indoor pool. Also included is a Technogym-equipped fitness centre and a rooftop outdoor pool with spa pool and bar.
Oil-rich Baku is proving to be a hot property for luxury hotel and spa developers,
with a new Swissôtel, also owned by Fairmont, the most recent to open a location in the capital city of Baku, which has attracted other big names including Hyatt, Hilton and Marriott, to name a few.
