The Property — Tbili Inn
Tbili Inn is a compact, well-kept three-star on a quiet side street near Tbilisi's central Marjanishvili metro. The lobby is small and functional, with a front-desk team that speaks good English and offers genuine local advice. It suits independent travellers who want a clean, no-fuss base in a lively residential neighbourhood with easy Metro access to the old town.
Chronicles of Tbilisi
Tbilisi was founded in the 5th century AD by King Vakhtang Gorgasali, who named it after its warm sulphur springs (tbili means warm). Its architecture layers medieval churches, ornate 19th-century Art Nouveau boulevards, brutalist Soviet blocks, and the steel-and-glass Bridge of Peace. Contemporary Tbilisi has a buzzy cafe culture, a thriving techno scene, and a creative energy that draws digital nomads and art travellers alike.
