The spa includes six treatment rooms - four single and two VIP spa suites - and the fitness centre on the same floor offers a sauna, a steamroom and ice fountains.
A brine inhalation area in the men's area and a tepidarium room in the women's area are also on offer at the hotel, which has partnered with Guerlain for its spa treatment menu.
• UK-based architects ReardonSmith are behind the design of the Four Seasons Hotel Baku, which includes the 800sq m (8,611 sq ft) Jaleh Spa and Pool among its facilities.
