The Boulevard Hotel Baku, an Autograph Collection property that joined the Marriott family in June 2015 and was formerly known as the Baku Marriott Hotel Boulevard, sits in the White City district on Baku Bay. It lies near the seafront promenade it is named after, on a main route between the city centre and the airport. It is a very large hotel with 818 rooms, and it offers a choice of dining: Green House Kitchen serves a seasonal Mediterranean menu with herbs and vegetables from its kitchen garden, White City Lounge is a 24-hour social space beside the lobby, and Black City Cafe serves grilled comfort food. There is an executive lounge, a wellness centre and gym with Elemis treatments and a large conference centre. It suits families, groups and travellers who like a large, modern resort-style base on the water.
Location and getting around: White City is a redeveloped district east of the centre, so the Old City is not walkable from the door. Taxis and ride-hailing apps make the trip to the Old City, the Boulevard and the Flame Towers a short, cheap ride, and the position on the airport route is convenient for early flights. The seafront promenade is close, which gives you flat evening walks along the water.
The rooms: with 818 rooms there is a wide choice of categories, from standard rooms to suites and executive-level rooms with lounge access. Ask for a higher floor and a bay view if you can, and request a room away from the lifts for quiet. The hotel is large, so walking distances inside can be long, and queues at breakfast can build at peak times.
Who it suits: families, groups, conference visitors and anyone who wants a polished international hotel with plenty of dining under one roof. What to know: the neighbourhood is more modern and spread out than the old town, so evenings out generally mean a taxi. Breakfast and parking vary by rate, and the hotel's large conference centre means that weekdays can be busy with events. Confirm the brand and name on your booking, because the property has carried both the Marriott Boulevard and Autograph Collection names.
