“Tbilisi’s first Design Hotel is a dash of 21st-century chic in a city more than 1,400 years old. Centrally situated off the city’s primary thoroughfare, Rustaveli Avenue, the eight-story building was a publishing house during Soviet rule before gaining a new facade of reclaimed wood and black metal trim. Opened in September 2014, it is the third hotel in Georgia from Adjara Group Hospitality, the Georgian company led by Temur Ugulava, a casino entrepreneur whose passions furnish the property: a McIntosh sound system, Vivienne Westwood carpets in vivid prints, works by Georgian artists, and bellhops attired in retro uniforms like extras in “The Grand Budapest Hotel.” Masculine, clubby and dark, with plenty of exposed beams, the hotel is popular among Georgian politicians and V.I.P.s who pull up in shiny black cars with drivers,”- The New York Times writes.
