Qafqaz Karavansaray

Azerbaijan


The best value of Qәbәlә's design hotels, the courtyards here are stylised to evoke a caravanserai while the excellent, if sometimes compact rooms have more neo-art-deco touches.

The restaurant here tends to be somewhat more experimental than those of the other big resorts and the little cafe serves fine coffee and excellent chestnut halva.
