The JW Marriott Absheron Baku is a high-rise hotel in Baku, Azerbaijan, opened in 2012. It is located on Azadliq Square next to Pushkin's Park and the Crescent Hotel on the edge of the Caspian Sea.[1]
The hotel is named for the previous Absheron Hotel which formerly stood on this site. It was established by the Soviet Intourist monopoly in 1985[2] and had 343 rooms on 16 floors. It was entirely demolished in 2009.[3]
The current JW Marriott-managed hotel of 237 rooms on 21 floors was built on the site[4] and opened on July 3, 2012.[5] It was described by author Ken Haley as an "imposing" hotel, with some rooms that have a "magnificent view of the city square and the sun-spangled expanse of the world's largest lake".[6]
