Four Seasons Baku to open in 2011 - FOTOSESSION
The client, Pasha Group, a leading local development company, already had a scheme in place but neither Pasha nor Four Seasons felt that it truly reflected their ambitions — to create a jewel in the crown of Baku architecture and the most luxurious hotel in the city.
The location for the new hotel was prestigious, at a crossroads facing the Caspian Sea and Baku’s smart promenade to one side and the President’s palace to the other, with beautifully landscaped public gardens to the rear.
There will be a total of 175 keys with many of the suites accommodated within the roof level domes, thereby offering 180 degree views; there is to be a roof top spa and a pool at fourth floor level under an atrium that soars upwards to a glass roof.
The spa will be located on the top, ninth floor; the pool, however, will be on the fourth floor level at the bottom of a spectacular atrium that will rise to a glass roof in the top of the building.
The total building area will be just less than 42,000 square meters with a very generous average room size of 52 square meters.
In addition to ReardonSmith, members of the professional team are: Richmond International - Interior Design; Ural Engineering - Structural Engineering; MMM - Mechanical & Engineering.
Four Seasons Hotels, Inc. is a five-star Canadian-based international luxury hotel chain.
It is considered among the finest luxury hotels worldwide, according to Travel + Leisure magazine and Zagat Survey, and operates 78 hotels in 32 countries including 22 AAA Five-Diamond properties.
