A stylish, characterful design hotel in a former publishing house.
Tbilisi
Gulo Sulphur Bath
One of the loveliest of Tbilisi’s historic sulphur bathhouses in Abanotubani, with private rooms of faux-marble pools, domed roofs and beautiful mosaic tilework. Book a room by the hour and add a traditional kisa scrub.
Wine Factory N1
A beautifully restored 19th-century wine factory near the river, relaunched as one of Tbilisi’s coolest dining-and-drinking precincts, with restaurants, wine bars and courtyards tucked into the old industrial buildings.
Fix Price Tbilisi
Tbilisi’s dollar-store fix – 600+ products across 64 categories, from beauty care to snacks and hobby bits, all at a single fixed price (~2.5 GEL / $1). A shopaholic’s fairy tale for stocking up cheaply.
Mediathek Tbilisi
A beautifully designed modern library in Vake Park that’s become a favourite Tbilisi hangout for all ages – students drop in after class to read, chat over coffee or just relax, and there’s a Georgian souvenir shop too. A yearly membership (~15 GEL) unlocks full access, but it’s worth a look even once.
Turtle Lake Ropeway
A short, scenic cable-car ride (recently renovated) that whisks you from Chavchavadze Avenue over leafy Vake Park up to Turtle Lake – one of the city’s favourite recreation spots – in about 3 minutes, with sweeping views along the way. Tip: a ride is ~1 GEL, paid with a Metromoney card.
Lilo Mall
A vast open-air wholesale bazaar on the city’s edge (on the road to the airport) where locals go to buy just about anything – carpets, jackets, pans – cheaper than in town. Huge, with parking, maps and sector signs to help you navigate. Tip: there’s a shuttle bus and even a shipping service.
