### In short

Sephia is a 33-room family-owned boutique hotel in the Vera district of central Tbilisi, a short walk from Rustaveli Avenue and the Tbilisi Concert Hall. The hotel says it was established in 2018 and named after the owners’ great-grandmother, Sephia. It offers a Garden Café and Garden Terrace, a small wellness area with sauna, Jacuzzi, fitness and yoga rooms, free on-site parking and a 24-hour reception.

### The building and its history

The hotel does not publish details of the building’s original architect or construction date on its website; what is stated is that the property opened as a hotel in 2018 and was conceived as a family project inspired by the owners’ great-grandmother, Sephia, whose name it carries. The hotel sits in Vera, one of Tbilisi’s older central districts, long associated with a mix of 19th- and 20th-century residential buildings and, more recently, galleries, cafés and small hospitality businesses, between the city centre and the Vake area.
