The JW Merriott hotel in Baku has amazing views over the whole F1 circuit at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

One of the most accessible circuits for fans—and, indeed, Baku is a damn sight more walkable than most of the street circuits in this sport—is suddenly presenting you with a hard choice of where to book your close-to-the-action lodgings. The Baku Grand Prix offers such scenic views from the circuit; indeed, the track runs through such striking scenery, really, that it might almost feel counterproductive to head inside a hotel room and shut the door.

Luxury hotels near the Baku City Circuit

For comfort, convenience, and top-notch service, you can't beat the several luxury hotels that sit within walking distance of the track. These are favorites of teams, sponsors, and many old-school fans.

JW Marriott Absheron Baku

At one end of the paddock is the JW Marriott, which has elegant rooms, excellent vistas of the Caspian Sea, and a high standard of service that makes it a nearly certain choice among F1 teams and VIP guests.

Hilton Baku

Another hotel adjacent to the paddock, the Hilton Baku gives you rapid access to the circuit and panoramic views of the city. It’s contemporary, roomy, and well-regarded by fans for its sheer convenience.

Four Seasons Hotel Baku

This hotel is found close to both the Old City and the waterfront. It is a luxury hotel with top-tier restaurants and stylish rooms. It is not just comfortable but also offers a cultural experience since it is within walking distance of many of the sights in the area.

Fairmont Baku

The Fairmont is part of the iconic Flame Towers and offers luxurious accommodations with panoramic views. Because of its location, it serves as a good base for fans wanting to experience both the racetrack and the city.

Mid-range hotels close to the circuit

Staying in a hotel that finds itself in a comfortable middle ground of pricing—that is to say, one that refuses to scale up to the kinds of prices you pay to get a room in an actual five-star hotel—might be the best way to avoid feeling like you're in a gag-worthy game of Monopoly.

Here are some pleasant, not-too-pricey options that will get you safely through the modern life of a friend of the circuit:

InterContinental Baku

Location and service give the InterContinental its high rating. It is just a short, direct walk to the main entrance of the track. Breakfast is an excellent option here, and the rooms are modern and clean.

Radisson Hotel Baku

This hotel is just a few minutes from the track and offers a strong value for its location. The rooms are spacious, the restaurant is reliable, and, most importantly, it's right next to the boulevard, making it an easy choice for race fans.

The Merchant Baku

A very well-reviewed boutique hotel, The Merchant Baku, has a look that tempts and a location that's a stone's throw from the Old City. It's not a hotel for those who need something as ubiquitous as a Four Seasons or Westin; be ready for personalized looks and service.

Boutique and budget-friendly options

There are many fine small hotels and guesthouses a short walk or taxi ride from the circuit. They represent a good value for your money and keep you close to the action.

Ferma Art Hotel Boutique

This charming, well-regarded boutique choice is in keeping with the local feel of the hotels on this list while maintaining an excellent high-comfort standard. Not quite in the center of town, it's still very convenient for attending the Grand Prix.

Two Seasons Boutique Hotel

This hotel, situated in the Old City, merges a superb locale with fine service. Racing enthusiasts in search of an untroubled haven posthaste to the circuit will not be disappointed with this hotel's extremely understated, calm, and quiet vibe.

Promenade Hotel Baku

This reasonably priced hotel has a waterfront location and a great access to both the circuit and the surrounding attractions. Rooms are spotless and up-to-date.

Leyla Apartments

Perfect for supporters who prefer a self-catering arrangement or who are residing for a longer stretch, these apartments provide a fine degree of flexibility and are situated close to the Baku City Circuit.

Hotels with trackside access

For those who wish to be right adjacent to the circuit, these hotels offer the immediate access to the action and are typically reserved well in advance.

Park Inn by Radisson

Nestled a mere shuffle from the track and F1 Fan Zone, this lodging is one of the best-placed options for paddock punters. You can stroll to your grandstand or back to your room between sessions.

Booking advice

The hotels nearest to the racetrack fill up rapidly—make your reservation well ahead of time. Think about how far you will have to walk to get to the circuit and Fan Zone.

If sightseeing or nightlife interests you, then make sure to balance your access to the metro with how close you are to the Old City or Baku Boulevard.
