Abanotubani Boutique hotel

Abanotubani Boutique hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Abanotubani Boutique hotel on Grishashvili Street, you immediately get that feeling you’ve stumbled onto something special. The building sits right in the heart of Tbilisi’s historic sulfur bath district — honestly, you can’t get more authentic than this. This four-star property has this understated elegance that doesn’t try too hard, which I actually appreciate. The entrance feels intimate rather than grand, and there’s something refreshing about a boutique hotel that knows exactly what it is.

The Perfect Neighborhood

You know what’s brilliant about this location? You’re literally surrounded by the famous sulfur baths that gave Tbilisi its name, but you’re also just steps from the Old Town’s cobblestone streets. I mean, couples absolutely love it here — they’ve rated the location 9.4, and I get why. You can walk to Narikala Fortress in about ten minutes, and the Metekhi Church is right there across the river. The neighborhood has this perfect mix of local life and tourist attractions, so you feel like you’re experiencing real Tbilisi rather than some sanitized version of it.

Your Room Experience

The room design strikes this nice balance between modern comfort and Georgian character — they haven’t gone overboard with either theme. What I really noticed was the attention to detail in the furnishings and how everything feels thoughtfully chosen rather than just ordered from a hotel catalog. The windows actually open (which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how many hotels skip this), and depending on your room, you might catch glimpses of the Mtkvari River or the old sulfur bath domes. The bathrooms are well-appointed without being flashy, and honestly, after a day of exploring Tbilisi’s hills, that’s exactly what you want.

Morning Fuel

Breakfast here is buffet-style, and while that might sound standard, they do it well. You’ll find a good mix of Georgian specialties alongside international options — I particularly appreciated that they include local cheeses and fresh khachapuri alongside the usual suspects. The restaurant area has these large windows that let in plenty of morning light, and there’s something nice about starting your day watching the neighborhood come to life. The coffee is actually decent too, which matters more than people think when you’re planning a full day of sightseeing.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this hotel works because it gets the fundamentals right without any unnecessary fuss. The location score of 9.5 isn’t just a number — it reflects how perfectly positioned you are to explore both historic and modern Tbilisi. You’re close enough to walk everywhere that matters, but tucked away on a quieter street so you’re not dealing with constant noise. The staff seems to understand that travelers want genuine recommendations, not just tourist trap suggestions. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re staying in Tbilisi rather than just visiting it, and that makes all the difference when you’re trying to get a real sense of this fascinating city.
