La propriété — Old House
Old House is a 3-star with genuine period character: a pre-Soviet wooden house with a veranda and a courtyard garden five minutes’ walk from the boulevard. The lobby smells of old pine and floor wax, with mismatched armchairs and a receptionist who’ll hand you a key on a brass fob. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want Batumi’s fin-de-siècle atmosphere without paying for sea views; families and slow couples stay here, not party groups.
Chroniques de Batumi
Batumi was a quiet Black Sea fishing port until Russia annexed it in 1878; the late-19th-century boom built the European-style boulevards and the Batumi Boulevard promenade (1881). Oil pipelines from Baku arrived in the 1900s, making it the USSR’s key southern port, and the old town’s mix of Art Nouveau, Stalinist neoclassical and 1990s glass towers reflects three empires. After the Rose Revolution, President Saakashvili’s building spree added the Alphabet Tower and the Piazza (2000s), giving the city a brash, casino-leaning identity. Today, Batumi markets itself as a beach-and-gambling getaway, though its quiet botanical gardens and the old Turkish quarter draw visitors looking for depth.

Guide complet de Batumi →Meilleurs mois
May, June and September: warm beach weather (25–30°C), minimal rain, and the crowds haven’t peaked yet. July and August are hotter and much busier, but the sea is at its calmest.
Peak / Festival surge
July–August: peak sunlight and the Black Sea jazz festival (mid-July) bring crowds. Hotel prices jump 40–60% from June rates; book Old House at least six weeks ahead. The beach is packed, and traffic on Shota Rustaveli Avenue can be stop-start.
La saison des épaules
Late September to mid-October: airfares drop, room rates fall by roughly 20%, and the sea stays warm until mid-October. Crowds thin out, and the midday sun is still pleasant for walks to the botanical gardens.
Météo & Emballage
Batumi’s climate is humid subtropical: July averages 22–28°C, but sudden short downpours are common even in summer. Pack a light rain jacket or a compact umbrella, plus a thin long-sleeve for evenings when the sea breeze drops the temperature to 18°C.
Briefing de la ville — Batumi
- The new Batumi Airport terminal opened in late 2025, easing passport control queues; direct flights from London Gatwick, Warsaw and Istanbul now arrive daily in summer.
- The 2026 Black Sea Jazz Festival is confirmed for 15–18 July, so Batumi Boulevard and the seaside stage area will have road closures and amplified music until 11pm. Festival wristbands are sold online; expect heavy foot traffic around Sheraton and the Hilton.
- The cable car to the Argo funicular station (viewpoint above the city) closed for maintenance in March 2026 and has not reopened; instead, the new free shuttle bus to the Orta Batumi hilltop viewpoint runs hourly from the old town square.
