Hotel Memoire — Hotel in Imereti, Georgia

In short

Hotel Memoire is a small boutique hotel in the historic centre of Kutaisi, in Georgia’s Imereti region, on Newport street directly opposite the city’s nineteenth-century Police Department building. The hotel describes itself as a place that collects “old stories” of Kutaisi, and several of its rooms are themed around episodes of local history. It offers a limited number of room categories, a ground-floor wine bar that doubles as the breakfast room, and a central location within the old town.

The building and its history

The official site does not give a construction date, architect, or original function for the building that now houses Hotel Memoire, nor does it state when the property was converted into a hotel. What the site does set out, through its room descriptions, is the historical context of the street and neighbourhood in which the hotel stands, which it uses as the inspiration for two of its themed rooms.

• 1852 — The Police Department of Kutaisi is built on the street facing the hotel’s current location; the hotel says this was one of the first buildings in the city to have a street watch tower, and that the street was subsequently named after the police. The building is still in use for its original function today.
• 1915 — The Blue Horns (Tsisperqantselebi), a group of Georgian Symbolist poets and prose writers, is founded in Kutaisi; the group dominated Georgian literature through the 1920s before being suppressed under Soviet rule in the early 1930s. The hotel names one of its rooms after this literary circle.

Beyond these two reference points, no further dated history of the hotel building itself is given on the official site.

Rooms and suites

The hotel lists the following room categories on its website, with indicative starting rates in Georgian lari (GEL) and maximum occupancy as stated:

• Deluxe King Room — from 200 GEL, maximum 3 guests
• Deluxe Twin Room — from 200 GEL, maximum 3 guests
• Deluxe Double Room with Balcony — from 220 GEL, maximum 3 guests
• Triple Room with Balcony — from 250 GEL, listed in two versions with maximum occupancy given as either 3 or 4 guests
• Quadruple Room with Balcony — from 280 GEL, maximum 4 guests
• King Room with Two King Beds — from 280 GEL, maximum 4 guests

In addition to these standard categories, the hotel features two named themed rooms. The Police Room is presented as a tribute to the historic Police Department building opposite the hotel, combining what the site calls vintage design elements with modern comfort, and the hotel says it offers a view of the nineteenth-century police building across the street. The Tsisferkantselebi Room is named after the Blue Horns poetry group founded in Kutaisi in 1915. The site does not specify square footage, bedding configuration beyond what is listed above, or in-room amenities in detail; guest reviews quoted on the homepage mention balconies on at least some rooms, including room 202.

Restaurants, bars and venues

The hotel’s homepage, through guest comments it has chosen to publish, points to a single food and drink venue on the property: a wine bar on the ground floor. Guests quoted by the hotel describe it as serving breakfast in the morning — including Georgian, American and European options, according to one quoted review — and functioning as a bar for drinks in the evening. The hotel does not give the venue a formal distinct name beyond “wine bar” on its site, nor does it list any other restaurant, rooftop bar, or event venue.
