Fairmont Baku - Flame Towers

The Fairmont is a centrepiece of Baku. The hotel staff are phenomenal, nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are spacious and pleasantly decorated. The reception is welcoming. We were met by Survan who was exceptional. His attention to detail to ensure your stay with them was paramount. He went above and beyond and a credit to the hotel chain. The staff in the restaurant for breakfast and evening meal were superb. A young Manager in Le Bistro was very engaging and welcoming, and the food was outstanding. Recommended to stay at this hotel, don’t waste your time staying anywhere else in Baku.

We only stayed for a single night but had a comfortable stay. The hotel is located away from the old city and many of the restaurants, so we decided to stay here when we arrived in the evening in Baku. Nonetheless, this is a top-quality hotel with all the amenities you would want from this type of hotel. The room was spacious enough for 2 people and the sea view was fantastic. Breakfast room was large with plenty of options. The gym and pool were impressive with great views of the city from these places. Staff were helpful and friendly. There are a few things to see close by, which would take a bit of walk to visit if you were located near the old town. So, I would recommend this hotel if you wanted to visit the monuments close by and for the great city view. If you are happy travel around Baku with Bolt (their uber equivalent) than staying at this hotel would not pose an issue.

Was amazing

The experience was wonderful. A luxury hotel, clean, good service, great breakfast, and super friendly staff.

I’d make sure the hot tub in the gym got a deep clean as the sides were filthy. Everywhere else was spotless.

I’ll always use Fairmont in my travels This is my 6th fairmon

A failure to address earlier emails resulted in very poor check-in. Unfortunately this was compounded by misinformation to staff which ended up with embarrassing issues for us. This was not good customer service which was more customer apologies than service. The did address the issue but I felt they were more interested in the money than the compensation. Only saving grace was Bar19 lovely staff, good food and great view over Baku Nice hotel. lovely city, i expected more from the hotel. John

The staff were very very nice and helpful from the front office staff to the staff at the breakfast restaurant . The hotel is well appointed , room was very spacious , bed was comfortable , heated floors . The hotel is a sight to behold and a great one to stay in . Would be back in a heart beat . The breakfast was always sumptuous and had great variety .

They can't make a coffee. Hardly anyone speaks English. Not service oriented.

My room had AC that stopped at 75F. I had to request a room upgrade three times, and by the time they offered it it was a smaller room on a higher floor (twice they took me to options where the prior occupant had smoked in the room--the rooms reeked--which the porter admitted was a big problem with the guests there) my son had fallen asleep so we stayed. They also put us on the 18th floor failing to mention that there is a restaurant on the 19th floor pumping out LOUD music...the night they played jazz I could hear it down to the individual instrument. The breakfast buffet was very poor - not what you'd see at a Fairmont in North America or Asia. On the plus side, one of the younger concierges was very helpful.

Helpful kind staff, breakfast was perfect also the restaurant staff was super kind. ** room fridge was locked and they asked me for deposit to unlock it, after little argument they opened it

—it’s a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. If you’re looking for a place that exceeds expectations, this is it! Beautiful property, incredible city view, delicious food, pool, spa, amenities .

Fantastic hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was large, great decor and the views were amazing. Also, The hotel chef FARJA was wonderful and his food was delicious! We had a great stay!

Excellent

Great hotel. The views are amazing. The location is good.

The hotel needs a lot of work from receptionists bell boys room service Most of the reception they dont smile no welcoming face I arrived after very long flight 16 hours without sleep so when I arrived they asked me to wait 1 hour to get the room with fees ofcourse it's 7 in the morning So I stayed at lobby and had a nap covering my face with a hat sitting on a chair not laying down security came woke me up saying no sleep with angry face First time in my life felt like that wat horrible act and the the receptionist forgot to tell me the room was ready 45 minutes before Ooo it's a mess they need a lot of work no camparison between Hilton or jw Marriott Bell boy when I arrived 7 in the morning I came with 3 pieces of luggage no one was there Room service so lazy to bring laundry the take forever to bring ur clothes The room is spacious and nice Bathroom is perfect also They gave late check out till 2 I was happy

Check in was easy and welcoming. However, the keycard did not work and I called reception and then I had to go back downstairs for them to actually register the keycard. The facilities were good with a nice and spacious gym and pool with a refreshing water machine to drink at your disposal. There are plenty of coffee shops and restaurants in this hotel but not much around the area. The most disappointing thing would have had to have been the breakfast service. I ordered room service and altogether it had taken an hour and a half to arrive with all of the items. First, it was delayed, I guess due to high demand, but then a lot of the items were missing which they failed to tell me about. I had to call again and remind them that they had forgotten items (bread basket, pastries, mushrooms, fresh fruit and muesli) they came back with bread and pastries and the guy on the phone said they had ran out of muesli (not even a replacement or an apology) still no fruit and mushrooms so I gave up. The second part was that the room was not cleaned properly and had lots of finger prints and cup marks (considering it's supposed to be a 5 star hotel). The actual hotel is nice with amazing facilities and options but the staff could be a bit more noticeable with orders and simple hotel procedures. I was a little disappointed given the price to stay there.

Roon is big and very convenient. Sadly, we had a rear city view which spoiled our experience. For 3 days in a raw we had to call service center to ask for hands towels which were missing from an unknown reason. Relatively nor far from the old city if you use the near by monorail.

we missed the service at the pool and a richer breakfast

The location is excellent. Limited food choices for vegetarian Indians. Considering the number of Indian tourists going to Baku and also staying in Fairmont Hotel, an Indian chef should be there to plan the menu. The dining room staff needs more training to handle guests and volume. Most servers usually run around without any proper plan. I think they were college graduates as they lacked professional approach. In the morning the breakfast area used to be a chaos due to responsibilities not clearly assigned. The room used to get serviced by 5 pm next day. Also, the hotel is very frugal in providing water bottles, tea, etc in the room.
