Unfound Door – Design Hotel

Unfound Door – Design Hotel Overview

You know what? I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first heard about Unfound Door – Design Hotel – the name alone had me curious, honestly. But walking into this place, I immediately got why they chose it. There’s this whole concept of discovery woven throughout the property, like you’re constantly finding little design surprises around corners you didn’t notice before. It’s one of those 4-star boutique spots that actually earns its 9.4 rating through thoughtful details rather than just throwing luxury amenities at you.

The design aesthetic is really something else – I mean, every corridor and common area feels deliberately curated without being pretentious about it. They’ve got this way of mixing industrial elements with warmer touches that somehow works perfectly. The rooms have this understated sophistication where you’ll find yourself noticing new details each time you return from exploring. What I really appreciated was how quiet everything stays, even when the hotel’s busy. The soundproofing is clearly top-notch, which you don’t always get with design-focused places that sometimes prioritize style over practical comfort. Check-in was smooth as anything – the staff genuinely seems to know their stuff about the local area and will point you toward spots that aren’t just the obvious tourist traps.

Actually, one thing that struck me was how the whole “unfound door” theme plays out in subtle ways throughout your stay. You’ll discover reading nooks tucked into unexpected spaces, or find that what looks like decorative wall panels actually open to reveal useful storage. It’s these kind of thoughtful touches that separate a genuinely well-designed hotel from places that just look good in photos. The common areas have this lived-in quality where you actually want to spend time, not just pass through on your way to somewhere else. Honestly, if you’re someone who appreciates good design but doesn’t want it to feel cold or museum-like, this place hits that sweet spot perfectly. Just don’t expect a massive resort-style operation – this is more intimate and personal, which is exactly what makes it special.

• Sixing from China (9/10)

  Old building with good design taste.

• Maria from Netherlands (10/10)

  The hotel is in the building by XIX cent, and there are still old frescos there. It is an incredibly beautiful place. Stuff is friendly and speaks English. In the restaurant downstairs, you can count on the vegan options. The food is amazing (not a surprise for Georgia, of course, but still). There is an impressive cocktail menu. Everything is clean and taken care of. Bedas are really comfy. Overall, great experience. It is on the riverside opposite the Old City, so the streets are not as busy. The hipster Fabrika is 10 10-minute walk from it, and also a few specialty coffee places.
