Paragraph Freedom Square, a Luxury Collection Hotel

Character and identity

Tbilisi's first Marriott Luxury Collection property rises at the edge of the historic centre, its curved glass façade mirroring the old town's rooftops and, on clear days, the Caucasus ridgelines beyond. The 220-room hotel weaves Georgian identity into a contemporary frame: HAT Design Paris interiors draw on chokha textile geometries, and works by Luka Lasareishvili and Giorgi Shalikashvili appear across public spaces and select rooms. Five bars and restaurants culminate in Ostigan, where Georgian flavours meet fine dining, while the three-floor Paragraph Spa, with a mosaic-tiled circular indoor pool, anchors the upper levels. Service is polished, led by Georgia's first Clefs d'Or concierge.

Who's it for

Bottom line

What sets this hotel apart is how seriously it takes Georgian craft, art and cuisine without slipping into pastiche, anchored by a spa that ranks among the best in the Caucasus. Book it if you want a culturally immersive base for exploring Tbilisi; aim for an upper-floor room or suite to capture the old town views, and put Ostigan on the calendar early.
