Sultan Inn Boutique Hotel & Restaurant

Sultan Inn is a small hotel built into the walls of Icheri Sheher, Baku's old walled city, facing the 12th-century Maiden Tower. The Palace of the Shirvanshahs is a 15-minute walk away, and the seaside boulevard park is closer still, five minutes on foot. Eleven rooms are spread across two floors, each with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a minibar and an electric fireplace, and views that fall across the inner courtyard, the old town's streets, or the Flame Towers rising beyond the walls. Superior rooms keep high ceilings and a plain, classic layout typical of the district's older buildings. Dining runs on three levels. Terrace 145, on the top floor, opens onto the archaeology of the Inner City, the Caspian Sea and the skyline of Port Baku beyond it. The 145 Balcon Lounge one floor down looks toward the Juma Mosque and the walking streets below. Below ground, Club 145 has its own street entrance and keeps a quieter, members-and-guests-only room for shisha and table games like backgammon and chess. Breakfast is set menu, with hot options included. The hotel is smoke-free throughout. Heydar Aliyev International Airport is 28 km away, about 30 minutes by car. It is a compact stay, built for guests who want the Old City at the door rather than a view of it from a distance.
