The 14 Best Boutique Hotels In Tbilisi, Georgia

With hotels like Stamba leading the charge and others like Communal redefining the standards of what it means to be a hotelier, Tbilisi’s boutique hotels are practically reason enough to get here and experience the emotions of Georgia for yourself.

Unfound Door

Original frescos abound, stepping into the Unfound Door hotel is like stepping back in time to rub elbows with the likes of Tbilisi’s eclectic elite. A place where the city’s influential creatives used to socialize, the energy inside these walls still exudes the same levels of inspiration. With only seven rooms, each with their own unique character – and all with amazing views – booking a stay here is as much an experience as it is walking down Aghmashenebeli Avenue outside.

Communal Plekhanovi

Look for the most out of place building on Ninoshvili Street (and we say that with fondness) in the vibrant Chugureti neighborhood and you’ve found Communal Plekhanovi. With a style all their own, it’s the Communal brand aesthetic that sets it apart from other boutique hotels in the city. Not to mention, the downstairs restaurant, Weller, serves some of the best food in Tbilisi – especially come brunch time.

With 20 guestrooms and suites onsite, a restaurant and bar, and Orbeliani Square and the Flower Market just out the front door, the hotel is as much a living, breathing part of this community-first neighborhood as the locals who call it home.
