About JW Marriott Absheron Baku
- The hotel stands on the site of the Soviet Intourist Absheron Hotel (1985), which had 343 rooms across 16 floors and was fully demolished in 2009, one of the few five-star replacements built directly on a demolished Cold War state hotel.
- The 21st-floor spa and fitness centre houses the hotel's rooftop indoor pool, with panoramic views over the Caspian Sea, the world's largest landlocked body of water.
- Azadliq Square, immediately outside the hotel, is one of Baku's main civic spaces; the building sits minutes from the Icherisheher (Inner City), a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000.
