The Ritz-Carlton Baku Hotel

The Ritz-Carlton Baku Hotel, located in the Nasimi District of Baku, Azerbaijan, is a striking 33-floor tower that opened in 2022. Originally conceived as an apartment building in 2008, the project underwent significant changes, including a partnership with Donald Trump's organization in 2012, which aimed to transform it into a luxury hotel and condominium. The design, inspired by the sails of the Burj Al Arab, faced numerous delays and controversies, including issues of corruption linked to its developers. Today, the hotel features opulent accommodations, a spa, and a ballroom, making it a notable destination for tourists seeking luxury in Azerbaijan's capital.
