Stylish boutique hotel set within a beautifully restored 19th-century building
The Merchant Baku is a stylish boutique hotel set within a beautifully restored 19th-century building that once served as the Caspian Shipping Company’s headquarters. Ideally situated in Baku’s historic centre – just a short stroll from the Maiden Tower and Baku Boulevard – the hotel offers easy access to the city’s most iconic landmarks.
Thoughtfully blending historic charm with modern luxury, the interiors reflect a refined mix of Art Deco and Art Nouveau influences. Striking murals of merchant ships, traditional Azerbaijani carpets on marble floors, and carefully curated vintage furnishings pay tribute to the building’s storied past.
All 63 rooms and suites are elegantly appointed, featuring plush bedding, stylish lighting, and contemporary amenities. The suites offer additional space and include private balconies with seating areas to take in the city views. Accessible rooms are also available for guests with mobility challenges.
Dining at The Merchant is a highlight. The restaurant serves a generous buffet breakfast and offers a tantalising menu featuring both modern Azerbaijani cuisine and international dishes for lunch and dinner. During the warmer months, guests can relax on the terrace with expertly crafted cocktails and light bites from the bar. A small but well-equipped gym is also available for those wishing to maintain their fitness routine.
