Radisson Blu Iveria Hotel, Tbilisi
Stay where the city happens
On First Republic Square, where Rustaveli Avenue begins and the city gathers in the evening. The river runs below one window, Mtatsminda rises outside the other. Everything you came to Tbilisi for is a short walk from the door.
A tower the city grew up with
Built in 1967 and reborn in 2009, the Iveria has stood on this square through everything Tbilisi has been since. Two hundred and thirty-six rooms rise above First Republic Square, the Mtkvari on one side, Mtatsminda on the other.
Inside, the tower keeps its own weather: a poolside eighteen floors from the traffic, a bar at the top, and a square below that fills every evening.
A table for every hour

Filini
Radisson Blu Iveria Hotel, Republic Square
A Roman kitchen in the middle of Tbilisi. Chef Matteo Boifava cooks his grandmother's recipes as she meant them, with a little more polish. Breakfast starts here; lunch and dinner take their time.
-
Umami
Radisson Blu Iveria Hotel, Republic Square
Japan, Thailand, Vietnam and China at one counter. Sit up front and watch the knives; the open kitchen is the best seat in the house.
-
Oxygen Bar
Radisson Blu Iveria Hotel, Republic Square
Eighteen floors up, the city laid out in every direction. Come for a drink before dinner, stay for the lights. A smoking lounge sits one floor below.

Restaurant Black Jack
Radisson Blu Iveria Hotel, Republic Square

An afternoon at the spa
On the top floor: a pool, a steam room, a massage table, and the city a long way down.
-
Rooms, suites and the view
Two hundred and thirty-six rooms and suites, each facing either the Mtkvari or Mtatsminda, the hill where Tbilisi takes its evening walks. Choose your side at booking: wake to the river catching the first light, or watch the funicular climb the hill after dark. Downstairs, Rustaveli Avenue starts at the door.
Meetings & Events
A grand ballroom for the big night and smaller rooms, full of daylight, for the days when the work matters more. From a long table for twelve to a night for a thousand — bring the guest list; the rest is ours.
Fitness & Wellness, on the top floor
The spa sits above everything else in the building: a pool with the city for a backdrop, a steam room, a sauna, and massage rooms where the only sound is the one you brought with you. Downstairs, the gym keeps early hours for guests who like to run before the square wakes up.

About Tbilisi · the city itself
Founded on a hot spring and named for its warmth, Tbilisi has spent fifteen centuries at the crossing of Europe and Asia — restless, hospitable, and impossible to see in a single day.

Below the fortress
0.72 mi / 1.16 km from the hotel
A mosque, a synagogue, and centuries-old churches stand within a few minutes of one another, balconies leaning overhead. The city at its most layered, and at its most photogenic just before dark.
-
Where to take the waters
1.41 mi / 2.26 km from the hotel
The springs that named the city still rise beneath the brick domes of Abanotubani, the oldest reason anyone settled this valley. Book a private room and a scrub, like Pushkin and Dumas, for a timeless Tbilisi bathing ritual.
-
The crooked clock tower
0.87 mi / 1.41 km from the hotel
Beneath a gloriously crooked clock tower, hand-carved puppets play wordless little stories that hold adults as easily as children. An angel appears on the hour; the room is tiny, so book ahead.
-
A walk down Rustaveli
right outside
The Telegraph's own address and the city's grandest street, named for the poet who gave Georgia its epic. The opera, the parliament, the plane trees — the avenue you'll wake up on, at the heart of modern Tbilisi.
-
At the foot of the Caucasus
10.7 mi / 17 km from the hotel
Georgia's first championship course, fifteen minutes from the Old Town where the city gives way to mountains. Eighteen holes across 140 metres of parkland; the concierge arranges tee times and a car.
-
The golden dome
1.6 mi / 2.6 km from the hotel
Across the river in Avlabari, the golden-domed Sameba rises higher than anything in the old city — modern, yet deep in Georgian tradition. Go at dusk, when chant carries through the open doors.
-
Ride the funicular
0.9 mi / 1.5 km from the hotel
A vintage funicular climbs the Holy Mountain to a ridge-top park, past the pantheon where Georgia's poets lie. Ride to the top for the finest long view of Tbilisi, best after dark, when the city glows beneath you.
-
The glass bridge
0.75 mi / 1.2 km from the hotel
A glass-and-steel wave arcs over the Mtkvari, glowing at night, leading into the riverside park where the Narikala cable car lifts off. A five-minute walk that gathers half the city's skyline.
-
The woman above the city
1.4 mi / 2.3 km from the hotel
On the Sololaki ridge stands a woman in aluminium — wine in one hand for friends, a sword in the other for the rest. The city has lain at her feet since 1958.
-
Gold, and the hard century
0.3 mi / 0.5 km km from the hotel
Three doors down Rustaveli: the gold of ancient Colchis below, the hard twentieth century above. An hour here explains much of the country you are standing in.
-
A night at the opera
0.4 mi / 0.6 km from the hotel
A Moorish-revival jewel box on the avenue, gilded and dim inside, with a full season of opera and ballet on its restored stage. Ask the concierge what's on, and dress for it.
-
The hidden gorge
1.5 mi / 2.4 km from the hotel
A wild green gorge folded behind Narikala, with a waterfall at its heart and the fortress walls above. Cross the bridge and the city noise simply stops — the quietest half-hour in town.
-
The city's memory, for sale
0.6 mi / 0.9 km km km from the hotel
Along the river, this open-air market is where the city sells its past — Soviet cameras, medals, silver, oil paintings on the railings. Come to browse, stay to haggle, leave with a story.

Old Georgia, in one walk

Where Georgia began

Half an hour north lies Mtskheta, Georgia's ancient capital, where a thousand-year cathedral stands and the sixth-century Jvari Monastery looks over two rivers. The concierge can arrange a half-day with a driver.
