This atmospheric hotel lies within the original 12th century walls of the city of Baku and has been sympathetically renovated in 1999 from a local artists studio, to serve business and leisure travellers alike, who are seeking high quality service and outstanding hospitality. The Gallery Restaurant and Bar welcomes guests for breakfast, lunch and dinner, while on the rooftop level the Harbour Cafe affords spectacular views across the harbour and the old city of Baku with its narrow streets and small antique shops. Most sights, such as museums and historical monuments are in walking distance from the hotel. The Maiden Tower, a symbol of Baku, and Shirvanshakhs Palace, are located 3-5 minutes walking distance and the seaside boulevard is just 600m. At a similar distance is Fountains Square, a favourite place to watch the work go by, with a lot of cafes, restaurants and shops.
