Ritz-Carlton Baku
Cultural Canvas
This property marks the Ritz-Carlton’s debut in Azerbaijan, following an interior styling, FF&E design, and art curation exercise.
Situated in one of the city’s most iconic towers, the remodel adds local character and vibrant colour to an existing hotel interior, and elevate the interiors to Ritz-Carlton standards.
The remodel reflects the city’s cultural influences, pulling in the distinct colours and patterns of local crafts. Two teardrop shaped bronze sculptures in the lobby, created with local fashion designer Faik Kerim, incorporate embroidered fabric featuring local patterns.
