Radisson Hotel Group has opened its first Radisson RED hotel in Eastern Europe in Tbilisi, the capital city of Georgia.

Located on Davit Aghmashenebeli Avenue, the new hotel is developed in a 100-year-old former post office building.

Radisson Hotel Group regional director for Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Eastern Europe Antoine Moubarak said: "The Radisson RED brand and Tbilisi are a perfect fit. The hotel is located on one of the main avenues in the city which has a vibrant atmosphere and energy.

"The historic former post office building has undergone an incredible renovation to combine original and modern vibes to the spot in the lead up to the opening of Radisson RED Tbilisi. Our team has worked very hard to create an unforgettable experience for locals and visitors, and we look forward to welcoming them through our doors."

The hotel features a range of paintings by a local artist who has taken inspiration from historic Tbilisi.

It also features traditional Georgian Shushabandi balconies, and a Tbilisi design inspired courtyard.

The four-storey hotel offers 111 rooms ranging from standard and junior suites; three meeting rooms for events and intimate gatherings for up to 70 people; a courtyard that can accommodate up to 500 guests.

Posta Restaurant & Bar on the ground floor of the hotel serves traditional Georgian, Asian, and international flavors.

Radisson RED Tbilisi general manager Husnu Tayanc said: "When I first saw the plans for Radisson RED Tbilisi, I fell in love with the building’s history and the opportunity to create a lifestyle experience for guests to feel the energy and vibrant atmosphere in Tbilisi.

"I would like to thank the investment group, Telegraph Company, namely Kniaz Desani, for bringing up this unique project to Tbilisi. The renovation project managed to maintain the historical elements and add modern ones, while also creating opportunity for the local employment."
