Set within Baku’s iconic Flame Towers, one of the city’s most recognisable architectural landmarks, Fairmont Baku continues to reinforce its reputation as a leading venue for association and MICE events. The hotel attracts international groups through a combination of large-scale banquet facilities, strategic location, and landmark appeal, according to Jeyhun Shukur, Assistant Director of Sales at Fairmont Baku.
The hotel has demonstrated strong traction among association groups, including a notable event hosted for an Indian association. The group travelled directly from India and occupied approximately 250 guest rooms, underscoring the property’s ability to accommodate large, international delegations.

At the centre of the property’s appeal is its Grand Ballroom, which spans 1,014 square metres and can host up to 1,000 guests. A dedicated external entrance allows direct access from outside the hotel, offering added convenience for large-scale arrivals and event logistics, an important factor for international association groups.
Beyond association business, Fairmont Baku maintains a diverse event portfolio. The property regularly hosts weddings, social events, national day celebrations, and a wide range of MICE programmes, positioning it as a versatile venue within Azerbaijan’s growing events landscape.
“Fairmont Baku is widely preferred as a MICE hotel in Azerbaijan,” Shukur said.
The hotel has seen particularly strong demand from India and the GCC markets, reflecting broader regional travel trends and the growing interest in Baku as an international events destination. Shukur emphasised the hotel’s focus on service delivery and guest satisfaction across all event segments.
“We always do our best to host our guests in a way that ensures they leave happy and satisfied,” he said.
As Azerbaijan continues to expand its appeal among international associations and corporate groups, properties such as Fairmont Baku are playing a key role in supporting the destination’s MICE ambitions through scale, infrastructure, and service-driven experiences.
