Where to stay in Baku: the SportAccord 2026 Official Hotels

Experience Baku from the Caspian Sea to the city skyline. SportAccord’s official hotels place delegates at the heart of Azerbaijan’s capital, combining five-star comfort with easy access to the SportAccord Convention, official networking moments, and Baku’s vibrant waterfront.

For the SportAccord Convention, the Baku Marriott Hotel Boulevard serves as the main externally bookable delegate hotel, supported by a small number of additional official properties across the city. All hotels are located approximately 20-30 minutes from the Convention venue and are connected via official shuttle services throughout the week.

Located along the Caspian Sea in Baku’s White City district, the Baku Marriott Hotel Boulevard offers panoramic sea views, resort-style amenities, and dedicated shuttle connections, providing a relaxed and convenient base for Convention participants while remaining well connected to central Baku.

In central Baku overlooking the Caspian Sea, JW Marriott Absheron and Hilton Baku sit close to Baku Boulevard and the city’s main business and cultural districts. Hilton Baku is also home to the 360 Bar, the official After Hours venue during Convention week, offering panoramic sunset views over the city and Caspian Sea and serving as a key evening networking hub.

SportAccord 2026 delegates will benefit from –10% on the entire menu at Hilton 360 Bar during the event.

Located closer to the Convention venue, The Ritz-Carlton, Baku offers a quieter setting with spacious rooms and extensive wellness facilities, providing a comfortable retreat after full days of meetings and networking.

All official hotels offer international five-star standards, wellness facilities, and preferred delegate rates, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable stay throughout SportAccord Convention week.

Preferred rates and accommodation bookings are available via the official SportAccord accommodation platform.
