Kerten Hospitality opens boutique...

The 17-room property invites guests to experience local culture

Kerten Hospitality, a mixed-use ESG and lifestyle operator, has opened The House Hotel Old Tbilisi, the first of three lifestyle hospitality projects in its Georgia pipeline.

The three-story hotel was once the Nikolozishvili mansion and blends that traditional charm with chic sensibility.

Each room is distinguished by a historical Georgian character painted by local mural artist Musya Qeburia and features custom Georgian oak furnishings, parquet floors and marble bathrooms.

Suites feature Tbilisi’s trademark wooden balconies with a view of the nearby Mtkvari River

Set in a district of crooked streets and houses, mediaeval churches and museums, The House Hotel Old Tbilisi is a good base for travellers wishing to immerse themselves in Georgian culture.

Speaking about the opening, Kerten Hospitality chief experience officer Antony Doucet said: “This hotel in the city’s most historic part will allow guests and visitors to connect to and to truly experience the neighbourhood.”
