The Telegraph Hotel

The Telegraph Hotel stands at 31 Shota Rustaveli Avenue, the main boulevard of central Tbilisi, Georgia, in a district lined with theatres, museums, cafes and government buildings. Freedom Square and the Rustaveli metro station are within walking distance, and the lanes of Sololaki and the Old Town begin a short stroll away, which makes the property a convenient base for visitors who prefer to explore on foot. The hotel is categorised as a luxury property and occupies a historic building on the avenue, combining period architecture with a refined, contemporary interior. Room categories include Deluxe Rooms, Junior Suites and Suites, and typical nightly rates run from about GEL 524 to 1179 (roughly $200 to $450), depending on season and room type. Rooms are generally described as spacious, quiet for a central address, and equipped with the comforts expected at this level, including wifi and modern bathrooms. Dining on site follows a boutique-luxury approach, with a restaurant and bar serving Georgian and European dishes alongside a cooked breakfast. Because the avenue is one of the busiest cultural streets in the capital, guests can reach opera, ballet, the National Museum and a large number of restaurants without needing a vehicle. The service character is personal and concierge-led rather than large-scale, aimed at couples, leisure travellers and business guests who want a central address with a more intimate feel than the international chain hotels nearby. Staff can arrange airport transfers, city tours, day trips to Mtskheta, Kakheti wine country and the Caucasus mountains, and restaurant bookings. Travellers should be aware that Rustaveli Avenue is lively, so a higher floor or inner-facing room is advisable for light sleepers. Direct enquiries can be made through the hotel website or by telephone on +995 32 244 31 31. Reservations are advisable for the high season between late spring and autumn, and for the weeks around New Year, when central Tbilisi hotels are in strong demand.
