The rooms feature furniture in calm grey, brown and beige tones which harmoniously blend into the space of each room. The soft and pleasant fabrics, the soft surface of the velvet on the walls and the pleasant lighting are impressively reflected in the mirrors. There are comfortable leather chairs and a work desk, as well as a marble bathroom and comfortable showers for rest and relaxation.
In addition, the hotel’s iconic Parnas Café has also undergone a major renovation. The same as the Tbilisi Marriott Hotel itself, Parnas Café is also distinguished by its history.
It was opened in 2002 and quickly became a favourite place of local poets and intellectuals. Over the years Parnas established itself as one of the pioneers in the field of hospitality of independent Georgia. The fusion of Georgian and European cuisines blended with classical touches presents all-day dining options and guests an exquisite gastronomic journey.
In addition, the courtyard of the hotel has also been renovated.
During its 100 year history the building of the Tbilisi Marriott Hotel has witnessed all the main political and historic turbulences of the country. The building was always one of the most distinguishing sights of Tbilisi.
In Soviet times all VIP guests to the country – including John Steinbeck, Jean Paul Sartre, George Balanchine, Fitzroy McClain, Margaret Thatcher and many others, stayed at this hotel. Tbilisi Marriott Hotel is continuing down the path of its predecessor, the Majestic, and retaining the status of Tbilisi’s calling card.
The decision to build a European standard hotel in Georgia was enforced when the hotel Majestic was built in Tbilisi from 1911-1915. The hotel Majestic featured 125 rooms and boasted one of the best restaurants in the post Soviet Union which was capable of hosting 100 guests. In addition, there was a café which could host 70 people. Majestic was recognized as the largest and most comfortable hotel in the top ten of the best hotels in the Soviet Union.
During the Civil War, from 1991-1992, the building of the hotel was badly damaged. Its reconstruction took place from 1995 to 2002. On 26 September, 2002, GMT Group opened the Tbilisi Marriott Hotel in this historic building.
