Modern Vake Retreat – By Wehost

Modern Vake Retreat – By Wehost Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Modern Vake Retreat – By Wehost? It’s actually way more sophisticated than I expected from the name. I mean, when you hear “retreat,” you’re probably thinking rustic cabins or meditation centers, but this place is genuinely sleek without being cold – if that makes sense. The lobby has this interesting mix of contemporary Georgian design touches with clean, minimalist furniture that somehow doesn’t feel sterile.

The location in Tbilisi‘s Vake district is honestly perfect if you want to feel like you’re staying where locals actually live, not in some touristy bubble. Vake has this residential vibe that’s super authentic – you’ve got families walking around, small neighborhood cafes that don’t have English menus (which I actually love), and it’s quiet enough that you can actually sleep with the windows open. The whole area sits up on this hill, so there are these unexpected views of the city that pop up when you’re just walking around. I spent way too much time just wandering the nearby streets because every corner seemed to have these little discoveries – a tiny wine shop here, a bakery with the most incredible khachapuri there.

What really impressed me about the hotel itself was how they managed to nail that “modern” part without losing character. The rooms feel spacious and airy, with these floor-to-ceiling windows that let in tons of natural light – honestly, I barely used the overhead lighting during the day. The bathroom setup is particularly well thought out (you know how hotel bathrooms can be weird), with this rainfall shower that actually has good pressure. Small thing, but the Wi-Fi is legitimately fast, which matters if you’re trying to video call home or upload photos. The staff genuinely seems to know the neighborhood well too – they gave me directions to this amazing family-run restaurant about ten minutes’ walk away that I never would have found otherwise. Parking can be a bit tricky in Vake generally, but they’ve sorted that out, which takes one headache away. The whole experience feels like staying at a really well-designed friend’s place rather than a generic hotel room, and honestly, that’s exactly what you want when you’re exploring a city like Tbilisi where the real magic happens in the everyday moments.

Tbilisi’s apartments offer spacious accommodations with traditional charm, perfect for families wanting to experience daily life in this hospitable Georgian capital.
