When seeking accessible accommodation in Baku, there are several options courtesy of the major international hotel chains including Ibis and JW Marriott. However, as the city is located on the shores of the Caspian Sea, it seemed appropriate to take advantage of this view hence one opted for the Radisson Blu.
Although the hotel is located behind the Park Bulvar Mall and 4 lanes of traffic, one can still admire the Caspian Sea from a ‘Sea View’ room. The wheelchair accessible rooms may not be of this luxury, however, they still boast plenty of room and a spacious wet room, it’s a shame about the single bed however…
It is worth noting that drop kerbs are non-existent outside of the hotel hence it is necessary to bump up or down the kerbs. As in Armenia, the drivers are very courteous and passersby are willing to assist by halting traffic.
Tomorrow is the ‘Day of the Armed Forces’ in Azerbaijan meaning that it is a ‘non working’ day for the country (joys!), however, the plan is to have a roll around the Old City and other famous sights before (hopefully) heading up the iconic Flame Towers to BAR19.
