The hotel is named for the previous Absheron Hotel which formerly stood on this site. It was established by the Soviet Intourist monopoly in 1985[2] and had 343 rooms on 16 floors. It was entirely demolished in 2009.[3]

The current JW Marriott-managed hotel of 237 rooms on 21 floors was built on the site[4] and opened on July 3, 2012.[5] It is described as an "imposing hotel", with a "magnificent view of the city square and the sun-spangled expanse of the world's largest lake".[6]
