What they say
Michelin Selected

Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The White Bridge spans the Rioni River a five-minute walk away, leading toward the produce stalls of the Green Bazaar.
The rooms
Rooms keep the original nineteenth-century layout and antiques. One suite sets a clawfoot tub beneath a frieze of Jason.
The plunge pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A seasonal plunge pool sits in the brick courtyard, lined with sun loungers and striped parasols.
Doli Restaurant
The kitchen prepares Western Georgian dishes like cheese-filled kvari dumplings and elarji, served beside a restored ceramic fireplace.
At the table
Bartenders shake cocktails with homemade fruit kompoti and pour qvevri-aged amber wines at the counter.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
