Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts is continuing its expansion at the crossroads of Southwest Asia and Europe with a new deluxe hotel in Baku, Azerbaijan. Scheduled to open in 2015, Swissôtel Baku is currently under construction and will open in time for the first European Olympic Games.
Designed by architectural firm Kreatif Mimarlik, the mixed use complex consists of two towers set upon a shared podium which will accommodate businesses, retail and entertainment outlets and numerous restaurants.
Swissôtel Baku will be situated in the taller, 160m (524ft) tower and will offer 149 rooms and suites, as well as a Swissôtel Living with 45 furnished apartments and 80 Swissôtel Residences.
Facilities will comprise a 2,100sq m (22,600sq ft) Pürovel Spa & Sport, the company’s signature spa brand.
Food and beverage offerings will include a lobby bar and lounge, an all-day restaurant, and a restaurant and bar on the top floor with panoramic views over the city.
Additional facilities include 3,000sq m (32,290sq ft) of meeting and event facilities including a dedicated 900 sqm outdoor space.
The owner and developer of the project is Arya Insaat, advised by hospitality consultancy, Servotel Corporation.
Meinhard Huck, president of Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts said: “Azerbaijan, as one of the largest producers of oil and natural gas, is seeing strong growth in the number of business related tourist arrivals, creating strong demand for international brands like Swissôtel.
“We are thrilled to be entering this dynamic market with such an exciting partner and project and to bring genuine Swiss hospitality in a modern and sophisticated setting to visitors from around the world.”
