Hotels and group basis
Choose Central Baku Hotel, Mercure Baku Hotel or Courtyard by Marriott Baku. The source lists all three as four-star options and uses Econom, Deluxe and Lux as package labels. The programme and included services stay the same across the hotel choices.
The lowest NET rate is USD 744 per person, sharing a double or twin room on the Econom option. Single-room prices are complete per-person package amounts, not supplements to the shared-room price.
Community visits and the pace of the trip
Jewish heritage visits require advance coordination. We confirm access to community premises and avoid assuming a synagogue will accept a group on any given date. Quba and Shahdag make a long day from Baku, so tell us if the group would prefer more time in Quba or a mountain overnight.
For a city programme without the northern excursion, compare the five-day Baku City Highlights tour.
