Qafqaz Riverside

Azerbaijan


Glitzy but not over the top, Qәbәlә's luxurious seven-storey flagship hotel stares up the valley towards a lovely mountain panorama. There are indoor and outdoor pools, a spa with classic marble hammam rooms, shisha lounges, a billiard hall and plenty of summer activities for families. It's beside an area of pretty woodland, ideally placed for accessing the steepest cable car.

The resort is located some 4km north of central Qәbәlә, 6km from the bus station.
