Dinamo Hotel Baku

Built in the 1930s, the unique geometric architecture of Dinamo gives it stand-out appeal in the historical city. Stylish and relaxing, the interiors are crafted from the finest materials, and include custom-made furniture and decorative arts that reflect the building’s history.

Originally the home of the prestigious Dinamo Sport Society, this boutique hotel gives glimpses of its past in its furnishings. There are friezes and statues punctuating the chic decor of the spa and restaurants, while upstairs, the bedrooms make their own statement with pops of colour. For dinner, the aptly named Olympia restaurant is the height of fine dining, with an open kitchen, palate-pleasing wine list and perfectly pitched service.

Outside of the Dinamo doors you can experience the melting pot of cultures that Baku has to offer. The combination of European, Asian and Middle Eastern influences makes this city a fascinating place to wander – from the cobblestoned ‘old city’ to the ultra-modern Heydar Aliyev’ art complex. And if you’re using the Baku Metro to get around, keep an eye out for particularly ornate stations like Nizami and Ulduz. Though, when it’s time to say goodbye to Dinamo, a chauffeur-driven car will whisk you to the airport in style.
