Paragraph Freedom Square, a Luxury Collection Hotel

Modern luxury meets Georgian character
VERIFIED LUXURY
Rising above the edge of Tbilisi’s historic center, Paragraph Freedom Square, a Luxury Collection Hotel is the city’s first Marriott Luxury Collection hotel and one of its most visually striking new arrivals.

The 220-room property occupies a prime position near Pushkin Square and the cobblestoned plaza for which it’s named, with a curved glass façade designed to reflect the surrounding landscape. Soaring views take in Tbilisi’s eclectic architecture, the old town’s rooftops and, on clear days, the distant ridgelines of the Caucasus Mountains.

Georgian traditions run throughout the design, which balances a strong sense of place with clean contemporary polish. Interiors by HAT Design Paris incorporate local motifs, textiles and artwork, with geometric patterns influenced by traditional chokha garments and an array of works by contemporary Georgian artists displayed throughout the property.

With a destination-worthy spa, excellent food and drinks, and a plugged-in concierge team, Paragraph Freedom Square is a dream base for first-time visitors and seasoned travelers.

Our Inspector's Highlights

  • Rather than defaulting to generic luxury, the hotel integrates Georgian culture into its interiors. Textile-inspired wall patterns and curated artwork appear throughout public spaces and guest floors, with select rooms and suites featuring original pieces by contemporary Georgian artists Luka Lasareishvili and Giorgi Shalikashvili.
  • Paragraph Spa is one of the best in Georgia, if not the entire Caucasus. Spanning three floors, it includes multiple saunas and steam rooms, six private treatment rooms and two pools — including a gorgeous mosaic-tiled, circular indoor pool with sweeping views — and a spacious fitness room equipped with Technogym machines.
  • The hotel is home to Georgia’s first Clefs d’Or concierge. Regular guided walks to the nearby Tbilisi Opera House offer behind-the-scenes access to one of the city’s key architectural and cultural landmarks, alongside customized city tours and tailored cultural itineraries beyond standard reservations.
  • The hotel operates five bars and restaurants. Each has its strengths, but you’ll want to get a table Ostigan, where Georgian accents elevate fine dining fare. And come hungry — Georgians aren’t known for their restraint when it comes to food.
  • You really can’t beat the view. Upper-floor amenities make the most of the setting. Pools, lounges and bars are positioned to take in Tbilisi from above, a city that’s particularly striking in the evening as the old town, the riverfront and the treasured cathedrals light up.

Things to Know

  • Art lovers are well placed. The Art Museum of Georgia is just across the street and houses works by Niko Pirosmani, the country’s most celebrated painter, making it an easy first stop for visitors interested in the country’s modern art.
  • If you can’t get enough of the country’s famed cuisine, weekly cooking classes prep guests to replicate traditional Georgian dishes at home, with local chefs teaching the art of pkhali (a vegetable dip), khinkali (stuffed dumplings) and more in the open kitchen at Gulama.
  • The spa has it all. Deep tissue massages feel more like a workout than a wind-down, but leave you deeply restored, while less rigorous options include hot stone massages, seasonal body wraps and hot-and-cold rituals.

The Rooms

  • All 220 rooms and suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows, many oriented toward the old town, with its quirky ramshackle buildings, or the river, with upper floors offering long sightlines across central Tbilisi and toward the hills beyond.
  • Room sizes range from cozy 355-square-foot deluxe accommodations to the 1,300-square-foot Paragraph Suite, complete with a terrace framing the iconic Sameba Cathedral, a freestanding black marble tub and Byredo amenities.
  • Georgia is unflinchingly proud of its 8,000-year history of winemaking, and it should come as no surprise that vino is a core feature here, too. Each room includes a wine fridge stocked with local vintages to enjoy on your own time.

The Restaurants and Bars

  • Ostigan is a relative rarity in Georgia, where tradition still dominates the dining scene. Under the direction of chef Stephane Gortina, whose background includes senior roles within the Alain Ducasse group, international dishes are reworked with Georgian ingredients and local influences.
  • Bars in Tbilisi are usually found at street level, if not in the basement. Chinari Sky Bar & Lounge offers a different vantage point, pairing ninth-floor views with cocktails, live piano performances and DJ-led evenings in a black-and-gold-accented setting.
  • Gulama handles all-day dining with ease. Tbilisi is not an early-rising city, but this bright, bistro-style venue serves breakfast from 6:30 a.m., alongside lunch and dinner for conference groups and casual diners.
  • If you stay in summer, visit Eary. Open in warmer months, the 10th-floor rooftop bar pairs drinks with DJ sets and distant glimpses of 16,500-foot Mount Kazbegi.
