Luxury Collection;

The Luxury Collection today announced the opening of Paragraph Freedom Square, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Tbilisi. The hotel marks The Luxury Collection’s debut in Georgia, one of Eastern Europe’s most sought-after leisure destinations. Due to its unique location at the intersection of Europe and Asia, Georgia boasts diverse natural landscapes, distinct cuisine, and rich cultural heritage influenced by both the West and the East. Situated in the heart of Freedom Square, Tbilisi’s most iconic address, the hotel serves as an authentic gateway for global explorers to discover the city’s diversity and charm.

“Bringing The Luxury Collection to Georgia marks a significant milestone for the brand, further underscoring our continued expansion into the world’s most intriguing destinations,” said Philipp Weghmann, Vice President and Global Brand Leader of The Luxury Collection. “Paragraph Freedom Square beautifully weaves contemporary design and signature experiences with the rich history of Tbilisi, and we look forward to welcoming guests to enjoy this remarkable region.”

Designed to capture the essence of Tbilisi, the hotel has been conceived as an “Epitome of Contrast,” seamlessly blending the old with the new. Designed by renowned architectural firm Hausart Georgia, Paragraph Freedom Square is housed in a striking, contemporary building with a double-curved glass façade that reflects the beauty of Freedom Square, including the State Opera House, the historic City Assembly, and neo-classical style Art Museums.

The hotel’s interiors, designed by HAT Design Paris, draw inspiration from Georgia’s rich heritage and indigenous history. Design elements are influenced by Chokha, a centuries-old national folk costume known for its triangular shapes and bandoliers, and traditional ornaments with distinctive geometrical patterns. These unique patterns beautifully blend with contemporary aesthetics throughout the hotel’s public spaces and its 220 guestrooms and suites. The guestrooms feature a warm color palette and furnishings crafted from contrasting materials such as leather and velvet, creating a subtle luxurious ambience. Floor-to-ceiling windows illuminate the guestrooms with natural daylight, offering guests an unparalleled view of the historic city. All guestrooms also feature spacious bathrooms with bespoke amenities and wine fridges stocked with a selection of local Georgian wines.
