Biltmore Tbilisi Hotel — Hotel in Tbilisi, Georgia

In short

The Biltmore Tbilisi Hotel is a 5-star property on Rustaveli Avenue, one of Tbilisi’s main boulevards, occupying a 32-floor glass tower that rises behind the historic IMELI building. The hotel describes itself as the tallest hotel in the region. It has more than 210 rooms, including 37 suites, five dining destinations, a spa and gym, a grand ballroom, eight meeting rooms and an amphitheatre that the hotel says once housed the Georgian Parliament. It is operated as part of the Millennium Hotels and Resorts group, under the Biltmore brand.

The building and its history

The hotel occupies a site fronted by the IMELI building, a Soviet-era structure on Rustaveli Avenue. The building is widely known in Tbilisi as the former home of the Tbilisi branch of the Institute of Marxism-Leninism, a Soviet-period research and ideological institution, and its grand neoclassical facade is a recognised landmark on the avenue. The hotel says the amphitheatre within the complex once housed the Georgian Parliament. Behind and above this historic frontage, a contemporary 32-floor glass tower was built to house the hotel itself, combining the preserved Soviet-era facade with a modern high-rise structure. The hotel describes its interiors as referencing the glamour of the historic building while introducing contemporary design.

• Soviet period: the IMELI building is constructed on Rustaveli Avenue as the Tbilisi branch of the Institute of Marxism-Leninism.
• Later Soviet/post-Soviet period: the building’s amphitheatre is used, according to the hotel, to house the Georgian Parliament.
• A 32-floor glass tower is built behind and above the historic facade to form the hotel structure.
• The property opens and operates under the Biltmore brand, part of Millennium Hotels and Resorts.

Rooms and suites

The hotel has more than 210 rooms in total, of which 37 are suites. Accommodation is organised into two broad categories. Rooms are described by the hotel as spacious and fitted with deluxe amenities. Suites add separate living areas and large work desks, which the hotel positions as suited to business travellers. Across both categories, the hotel says rooms are designed to combine timeless sophistication with modern amenities and offer scenic views, in keeping with the building’s height above central Tbilisi. The official site does not break down room categories further by size, bedding configuration or specific view type (city, mountain or avenue-facing); guests wanting this detail should check the hotel’s rooms and suites page or booking engine directly.

Restaurants, bars and venues

The hotel states that it has five dining destinations on site, positioning them, together with its spa and gym, as part of what it calls a premier lifestyle and travel destination for business and social guests. The official overview text provided does not list the individual restaurants and bars by name; travellers wanting specifics on cuisine, hours or dress code for each venue should consult the hotel’s dedicated dining and entertainment page or contact the hotel directly, as gtour will link out to that page once individual venue names are confirmed.

Wellness, pool and fitness

The hotel says it has an in-house spa and a gym among its facilities. No swimming pool is mentioned in the official text supplied, so this profile does not claim one; guests seeking pool access should confirm directly with the hotel before booking.

Meetings and events

The hotel positions itself as a venue for both business and social events. Facilities include the Grand Royal Ballroom, set up for theatre-style seating, eight further meeting rooms, and an amphitheatre that the hotel says once housed the Georgian Parliament. The hotel describes these spaces collectively as offering distinctive settings for events, from corporate meetings to larger gatherings.

Prices and booking

The official website does not publish fixed room rates in the text reviewed; prices are generated dynamically by date, room type and occupancy through the hotel’s own booking engine. Travellers should check current rates and availability on the official Biltmore Tbilisi website or through gtour’s booking channel. The hotel notes that age-based child rates may be available.

Location and getting there

The hotel is located at 29 Shota Rustaveli Avenue, Tbilisi 0108, on one of the city’s principal central boulevards. The hotel says it is surrounded by landmarks including the Georgian National Opera and Theatre, the Rustaveli National Theatre, and the Abanotubani sulphur baths district, which it describes as within reach for guests exploring the city’s culture and history. Because of ongoing rehabilitation works on Rustaveli Avenue, the hotel asks guests to use the entrance on Tabukashvili Street rather than the Rustaveli Avenue frontage. For airport transfers, the hotel offers a paid transfer service with prior reservation and prepayment, but does not run a shuttle bus. As an alternative, the hotel notes that public bus number 337 runs from Tbilisi International Airport to Rustaveli Avenue, with a stop about 200 metres from the hotel and a journey time of around 50 minutes.
