Shota @Rustaveli Boutique Hotel

Top choice in Tbilisi


A very stylish option just seconds from Rustavelis gamziri, this 52-room boutique hotel gets points for its charming staff, sleekly discreet public areas and stylish, airy rooms with contemporary but understated furnishings. The relaxation rooms are particularly fancy, with glass-walled bathrooms and huge designer bathtubs for two. Shota Rustaveli's most iconic characters look down at you from the wall, Warhol-style.
