Tbilisi Marriott Hotel, Tbilisi
The Tbilisi Marriott Hotel is a luxurious five-star hotel situated in Tbilisi. It is located on the city's main boulevard, Rustaveli Avenue, and was originally constructed between 1911 and 1915 as a high-end establishment commissioned by a wealthy Armenian merchant named Mikael Aramyants.
Designed by Aleksandr Ozerov in 1911, the hotel aimed to be the finest in Tbilisi, which was then the capital of Russian-ruled Georgia and the wider Caucasus region. Later, Gabriel Ter-Mikelov made some modifications to the hotel at the request of Mikael Aramyants. The construction of the hotel was eventually completed in 1915, and it was named H么tel Majestic. However, during World War I, from 1915 to 1917, the hotel temporarily served as a military hospital before it could be opened to the public.
Unfortunately, the hotel suffered significant damage from a fire during the December 1991鈥揓anuary 1992 coup d'茅tat, which marked the beginning of the Georgian Civil War. Following this event, the hotel underwent reconstruction under the guidance of architects G. Metreveli and V. Kurtishvili between 1995 and 2002. The refurbished Tbilisi Marriott Hotel officially opened its doors on September 26, 2002.
The hotel is a seven-story building, with five stories above ground. Its grand facades still showcase their original design, incorporating elements of Renaissance and Baroque architecture. These features include justification, prominent semi-circular and flat pilasters adorned with Corinthian capitals, and triangular and circular pediments supported by stone brackets. The front entrance facing Rustaveli Avenue is enhanced by large columns, while the main facade boasts an elaborate entablature and attic, complete with a molded balustrade parapet.
