Four Seasons Hotel Baku Earns Forbes Five-Star Recognition for a Second Year

Four Seasons Hotel Baku earned Forbes Five-Star recognition for a second consecutive year across 2025 and 2026, standing as the only hotel in Azerbaijan to hold the distinction. For a Beaux-Arts landmark on the Caspian waterfront, the back-to-back recognition confirms its place at the summit of the country's hospitality.

Dining is led by Executive Chef Nicola Rossi at the Italian restaurant Zafferano, with Executive Pastry Chef Suraj Karmakar supporting the broader program, and Bentley's Bar reopened with a new cocktail collection and cigar menu. New General Manager Saakshee Gahlawat was recently appointed, bringing fresh leadership to the 171-room property.

Overlooking the Caspian Sea from Baku's elegant seafront, the hotel pairs a landmark facade with interiors to match. Its sustained Forbes recognition makes it the clear choice for luxury travelers in the Azerbaijani capital.
