A former printing works warehouse centrally located in the heart of the capital will be transformed into InterContinental Tbilisi. This iconic building is at home amongst Tbilisi’s eclectic mix of Georgian, European and Middle Eastern architecture. The hotel will be within walking distance of the city’s major landmarks and neighbouring embassies and business centres.

The hotel’s large multifunctional conference hall, ballroom, multiple meeting rooms and conference centre will be well equipped to meet the needs of Tbilisi’s growing domestic and international business requirements. Food, beverage and leisure facilities include an all-day dining restaurant, an InterContinentalClub Lounge, lobby bar, spa, and an indoor and outdoor pool. As part of its 200 rooms the hotel will also feature 14 suites and a Presidential Suite.

Angela Brav, CEO Europe, IHG said, “Russia and the CIS is a priority market for us so we’re thrilled to be signing a property under our flagship InterContinental Hotels & Resorts brand in Georgia. We are on track to have 100 hotels open or in the development pipeline in Russia and the CIS by 2020 and look forward to further expanding our presence in this region.”

Valeri Chekheria, CEO of Adjara Group (which also owns existing property Holiday Inn Tbilisi), said, “IHG has an excellent world-wide reputation for great service and great brands. We’re delighted to be bringing the InterContinental Hotels & Resorts brand to Georgia for the first time in partnership with them. Given its excellent location, InterContinental Tbilisi will be perfectly placed to meet the needs of a fast-growing business and leisure travel market in the capital.”
