- Guests arriving by airport shuttle
Less suited to
- Travellers prioritising large room square footage
- Those wanting a room without a view premium
Views across river and skyline
Most rooms face the Mtkvari River, Tbilisi's landmark sights, or both. Upper-floor balconies give a clear sightline across the water. The combination of city and river views from a single building is one of the property's defining characteristics.
Terrace and outdoor space
A guest terrace with outdoor furniture sits on the property. It is a practical place to sit with Tbilisi's skyline in view, separate from the balconies attached to individual rooms.
Rooms with outdoor bathtubs
The Deluxe King Room with Outdoor Bathtub and the Glass Room with Bathtub each sit at 25 m², include a spa tub, and open onto a balcony with river and landmark views. These are the most distinctive room types in the building.
The suite with private terrace
At 50 m², the Suite with Terrace is the largest room in the hotel. It has a king bed, a spa tub, and a private terrace looking out over the river and city landmarks — a different scale from the standard balcony rooms.

“We especially liked the bathtub on the balcony—it was a lovely bonus after long walks in Tbilisi.”
“The glass balcony was amazing and a very surreal experience.”
“This is by far one of the best mattresses that we've ever slept on. The location is perfect… tucked away and very quiet at night.”
“Once they found out there was some problem with our room they upgraded us to a suite without us asking or saying anything.”
“Parking and access to taxis are very difficult as the entrance road is very narrow and congested with cars.”
