In Baku’s Old City, facing the fortress wall
Twenty-five rooms in a limestone house built in 1908. You choose which window you will stay behind.
Built for a grain merchant. Opened to guests a hundred and ten years later
Kichik Gala Street is six metres wide. On one side stands the fortress wall of the 12th century; on the other, a four-storey house of Absheron limestone. Its three stone balconies face the street, and its glazed galleries face the fig tree in the courtyard.
The restoration took three years. The staircase, the iron railings and the 3.9-metre ceilings of the second floor stayed where they were; the lift, the quiet air conditioning and the hammam were added.

Anjir: named after the tree in the courtyard
The restaurant is on the ground floor and its doors open onto the courtyard. The kitchen is Azerbaijani with a short menu: it cooks what the season has. The bread is baked in a tandir at six every morning.
From May to October the evening table moves to the roof. From the terrace you see the fortress wall on one side and the Caspian on the other.

What guests wrote
We had morning tea on the balcony of room 203 with the fortress wall in front of us. We had picked the room on the façade on the site, and it was exactly that window.
We landed at one in the morning and the driver was waiting with a sign. We had no idea cars could not simply drive into the Old City; they had sorted it out for us.
We took the hammam for an hour, just the two of us. After the scrub, tea and jam were waiting upstairs in the restaurant.
