The Fairmont Baku, Azerbaijan is set to open later this spring but it has already drawn award-winning attention from its stunning design. As part of the Flames Complex, The Fairmont Baku has been awarded "The Best Hotel and Tourism Resort" at the prestigious MIPIM event, the leading international real estate show for professionals held in Cannes, France.

Adrian Ellis, General Manager of the Fairmont Baku says, “I am pleased to hear that HOK’s audacious structural concept for the Flame Towers has been recognized. It is evident even to me as a layman that the breath-taking design has really pushed the boundaries of contemporary architecture, taking it onto a whole new level of daring and expertise. This building is already a symbol for the re-emergence of Azerbaijan onto the global stage.”

Once open, the hotel will feature 299 guestrooms, 19 serviced apartments and a variety of Fairmont Gold options.
