“We are thrilled to be entering a destination as exciting as Azerbaijan; a destination that has seen outstanding developments to its tourism infrastructure in recent years,” said John Licence, brand leader for Autograph Collection in Europe.

“Autograph Collection is known for creating authentic experiences for travellers that are nothing less than unique, nothing short of exceptional – which is why Azerbaijan and the four properties are the perfect fit for the brand.”

 

Marriott recently announced the Habtoor Grand Beach Resort & Spa in Dubai will become the first hotel in the Middle East to join the collection, early next year.

Another hotel currently under development in a major theme park project in Dubai will later join the collection in 2016.

Out of the four new hotels in Azerbaijan, Boulevard Hotel Baku is the largest, with a total of 818 rooms.

Pik Palace Shahdag and Park Chalet Shahdag have 167 and 164 rooms repectively, while Intourist Hotel Baku is a 150-key property.
