Four Seasons Hotel

Mace has been appointed as client representative on this super-luxury French palace-style hotel situated in a chic part of Baku, overlooking Bulvar Park, Baku yacht club and the Caspian Sea.

The hotel comprises 175 keys with many of the suites accommodated within the roof level domes offering 180-degree views. The new hotel will also have a roof top spa and a pool at fourth floor level under an atrium that soars upwards to a glass roof.

Structural integrity is a major consideration in the hotel's design since Baku sits in an active earthquake zone. A solution is being developed to create a large ball-room without internal columns.

The scheme also incorporates a private residential apartment building adjoining the hotel, but not operated by Four Seasons.

Work on site commenced in January 2009 and is due for completion in mid-2011.
