EIKON APARTMENTS — Guest House in Samtskhe-Javakheti, Georgia

In short

Eikon Apartments is an apartment-style hotel at 24 Rustaveli Street in Abastumani, a resort town in the Samtskhe-Javakheti region of southern Georgia. The property is run alongside the Georgian-European restaurant IFANI, which the hotel describes as a sister brand under the same “Eikon Abastumani” project. The hotel offers four categories of self-contained apartments, a billiard room, a conference room and a restaurant, and is aimed at both short stays and longer-term visitors.

The building and its history

The hotel’s own materials do not give a construction date, an architect, or an account of a previous use for the building, so no verified timeline can be given here. What can be said with confidence from general knowledge of the area is that Abastumani itself is a long-established resort, developed from the late 19th century onward as a climatic health station in a pine-forested valley of the Lesser Caucasus, and later known for its mineral baths and for the Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory built on the surrounding ridges in the Soviet period. Eikon Apartments occupies a site within this older resort settlement, on its main street, but the hotel does not publish the history of the specific building it occupies or the date of its conversion into apartments.

Rooms and suites

The hotel lists four apartment categories:

• Studio Apartment with Balcony — a 45-square-metre studio with an open-plan living area and a private balcony, described by the hotel as suitable for both short and extended stays.
• One Bedroom Superior Apartment — described as suited to families, couples or groups of friends, with a private balcony and in-apartment Wi-Fi.
• Two Bedroom Suite Apartment — described by the hotel as having a functional layout intended for a peaceful, comfortable stay.
• Three Bedroom Premium Apartment — the largest category, described by the hotel as accommodating up to 6 adults and aimed at group or family getaways.

Across the categories, the hotel states that accommodations have parquet flooring, a fully equipped kitchen with microwave, a flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and bathrobes. Each room has a safety deposit box, bed linen and towels are provided, and the hotel notes that some rooms have mountain views.

Prices and booking

The website does not publish fixed rates for its apartment categories; each category is listed with a “Check price” link rather than a stated figure, so current rates should be confirmed on the official site at the time of booking. The hotel states a check-in time of 15:00 and a check-out time of 12:00. It offers free cancellation within the period stated in a guest’s confirmation letter, with a fee applying to late cancellations or no-shows according to the specific tariff plan booked.

Location and getting there

Eikon Apartments is located at 24 Rustaveli Street in Abastumani, a resort settlement in the Samtskhe-Javakheti region of southern Georgia. The town sits in a forested valley in the Lesser Caucasus and is known more broadly for its mineral springs, its cable car up to the surrounding ridge, and the nearby Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory. The nearest international airport is Tbilisi International Airport; Abastumani is reached from Tbilisi by road, a journey of roughly four hours given the mountain route via Akhaltsikhe, though travellers should confirm current road conditions and drive times independently, as the hotel’s own site does not state a transfer time.
