Historical Ganja in the heart of Azerbaijan combines history and culture from 17th-century mosques and caravanserai to a house made from glass bottles and
Nizami Ganjavi’s Mausoleum. Here are some of the best hotels in Ganja to suit every sort of traveller, from authentic homestays to luxurious chains.
Ramada Plaza Ganja
Chain Hotel
The Ramada ranks as one of the best hotels in Ganja, offering a selection of rooms and suites. Located near Heydar Alivey Park and a few kilometres from central Ganja, the five-star hotel provides world-class comfort with a variety of amenities. All rooms exhibit a classical design with tea and coffee facilities, a large bathroom and a seating area. Combine this with the onsite nightclub, international standard restaurant, two swimming pools and sports areas, and it’s understandable why so many people stay at the Ramada.
