Vinotel

A fine example of 19th century Tbilisi architecture, Vinotel has been voted ‘Best Boutique Hotel in Georgia’ and is located just off a busy street on the left bank of the Mtkvari River – twenty minutes’ walk from the heart of the Old City.

Vinotel is a charming boutique hotel that is highly recommended for wine lovers. Its vintage interiors are adorned with antiques personally selected by the owner, beautiful old furniture, stained-glass windows, oriental carpets, and a stunning lobby ceiling modelled after the first Persian Embassy in Tbilisi.

The warm and attentive staff adds to the hotel’s welcoming atmosphere. Below ground level, Vintotel’s arched brick wine cellars hold an exceptional selection of the best Georgian wines. Outside, the garden terrace is perfect for a glass of wine in warmer months. No two of Vinotel’s thirteen well-appointed and slightly quirky rooms are the same.

Each is decorated in a classic style and features air-conditioning, a seating area, an ensuite bathroom and cable television. Guests should be aware that only some suites have a balcony and that the hotel doesn’t have a lift.

Dinners at Vinotel’s restaurant are treated to exquisite Georgian-European cuisine accompanied by live music at breakfast and dinner.

Adding to the experience are Vintotel’s sommeliers, who can recommend food and wine pairing and (for a fee) can arrange wine tastings.
