ART Riverfront Hotel Tbilisi — Hotel in Tbilisi, Georgia

In short

ART Riverfront Hotel Tbilisi is a city-centre hotel on the banks of the Mtkvari (Kura) River in Tbilisi’s Marjanishvili district. The hotel describes itself as a design-led property in which an in-house art collection, curated room interiors and a group of dining and bar venues are meant to work together as a single guest experience. It offers eight room categories, four food-and-drink venues (a restaurant, a rooftop bar, a lobby bar and a wine room) and four meeting rooms named after Georgian artists. The property sits within walking distance of Old Tbilisi, Rustaveli Avenue and the Fabrika creative hub.

The building and its history

The official website does not publish an architect’s name, a construction date or details of a prior building on the site, so none of that can be confirmed here. The hotel’s own marketing language (“the canvas is almost complete,” “a new chapter unfolds,” “soon”) points to a recently built or recently opened property rather than a converted historic structure, and the hotel is presented as a new riverside addition to the Marjanishvili district rather than a restoration of an older building.

What can be said with confidence from general knowledge of the area: Marjanishvili is a left-bank district of Tbilisi named after the Georgian theatre director Kote Marjanishvili, centred on Marjanishvili Square and the Marjanishvili Theatre, and it sits across the Mtkvari River from the Rustaveli Avenue side of the city centre. In recent years the district has become known for its mix of older residential architecture, street art, independent cafés and the Fabrika complex, a former Soviet-era sewing factory turned hostel and creative cluster — the same “creative energy” the hotel references in describing its own setting.

Rooms and suites

The hotel says it has eight room categories, combining city or river views with contemporary interiors. Standard amenities across most categories, as listed by the hotel, include a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, an electric fan, a coffee machine with tea and coffee facilities, complimentary bottled water, daily housekeeping and ironing facilities; the two King categories additionally mention complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, premium bedding and a dedicated work area.

• City View King Room — 25–26 sq. m, king bed, city views.
• River View King Room — 25–27 sq. m, king bed, river views.
• City View Twin Room — listed by the hotel as 32–37 sq. m (215–323 sq ft), two beds, city views.
• River View Twin Room — 25–27 sq. m, two beds, river views.
• Accessible Guest Room — 29–31 sq. m, designed with additional space and accessibility features.
• Superior King Room — 25–28 sq. m, king bed, described by the hotel as a quieter, more refined take on the standard room.
• Signature King Room — 25–30 sq. m, king bed, with what the hotel describes as “enhanced design elements.”
• Executive Suite — 84 sq. m, with separate living and sleeping areas and a sofa.

Maximum occupancy is stated as four adults plus one child under 12 for the categories where this is specified. The hotel’s website does not state a total room count for the property.

Restaurants, bars and venues

NAR Restaurant is described by the hotel as a contemporary dining venue focused on Georgian and Caucasian cuisine, with seasonal ingredients and an outdoor terrace.

EIGHT Rooftop Bar sits above the hotel and, according to the hotel, serves handcrafted cocktails and curated bites with views over Tbilisi and the Mtkvari River, positioned as a venue for sunset through to late evening.

Lobby Bar is presented as an all-day space offering specialty coffee, signature cocktails, wine and light bites.

Wine Room is described as a dedicated space for a curated selection of Georgian and international wines in what the hotel calls a refined setting.

Wellness, pool and fitness

The hotel’s official website does not list a spa, swimming pool or fitness centre among its facilities. Travellers who require these should check directly with the hotel before booking, as this profile only reflects what is published on the official site.

Meetings and events

The hotel offers four meeting rooms, each named after a Georgian artist, plus use of its rooftop and bar areas as event spaces for private functions, according to the hotel.

• Kakabadze Meeting Room — 86 sq. m, up to 50 guests; named after David Kakabadze. The hotel says it suits theatre-style, cabaret or wedding setups, round-table meetings and cocktail receptions, in addition to conferences and seminars.
• Akhvlediani Meeting Room — 46 sq. m, up to 16 guests; named after Elene Akhvlediani; set up as a fixed boardroom layout for presentations and workshops.

• Pirosmani Meeting Room — 35 sq. m, up to 10 guests; named after Niko Pirosmani; a fixed boardroom setup for intimate meetings and interviews.

The hotel also describes one connected dining space as part of its events offering, alongside the four meeting rooms.

Awards and memberships

No awards, ratings or membership affiliations are stated on the hotel’s official website, so none are listed here.

Prices and booking

The official website does not publish fixed room rates; these are set dynamically and shown at the time of booking. The hotel advertises three standing offers: “Stay Longer on Us” (a minimum three-night stay for 15% off), “Seamless Arrival – Stay & Transportation” (accommodation bundled with airport transfer, to be booked at least three days before arrival), and an “Advance Purchase Plan” (10% off the best available rate, with full prepayment required and the booking non-refundable). The hotel states that booking directly through its own website secures the best available rate. For current prices, travellers should consult the official site.

Location and getting there

The hotel’s address is 17/4 Dodo Abashidze, in the Marjanishvili district of Tbilisi, on the riverfront of the Mtkvari (Kura) River. The hotel states it is close to the city centre and Old Tbilisi, with Narikala Fortress, the sulfur bathhouses and the Bridge of Peace described as easily accessible, and the Fabrika creative hub nearby along with a range of cafés and restaurants. The site also highlights Rustaveli Avenue and the Dry Bridge antiques market as nearby points of interest.
