The iconic Central Telegraph Building in the heart of Tbilisi has completed its transformation into a five-star hotel. Hotel Telegraph will officially welcome its first guests on June 20, offering a blend of historical charm, refined design, and modern hospitality standards.
Located in the historic center of Tbilisi, the Telegraph promises visitors a distinctive experience, combining elegant architecture with innovative service. The reconstruction was led by internationally acclaimed architecture studio Neri&Hu, known for its work on landmark restoration projects around the globe. Their design respects the building's architectural heritage while introducing sophisticated interiors and sustainable, energy-efficient technologies.
The original building, designed by celebrated Georgian architects Lado Aleksi-Meskhishvili and Teimuraz Mikashavidze, retains its historic façade. Inside, however, it has been reimagined as a modern, eco-conscious hotel that reflects the evolving standards of contemporary architecture and hospitality.
Hotel Telegraph is a major project by the Silk Road Group, representing a total investment of EUR 65 million, with financial backing from TBC Bank and Bank of Georgia. The hotel features 239 guest rooms across nine categories, seven diverse restaurants, a jazz club, bar, and fully equipped banquet and conference spaces.
A landmark achievement, the Telegraph has become the first hotel in the region to join The Leading Hotels of the World, one of the most prestigious global hotel associations. This milestone positions the hotel—and Tbilisi itself—on the international map for luxury travel and hospitality.
The reopening of the Telegraph is also a key part of the broader Republic Square development plan, aimed at revitalizing the area and reinforcing Tbilisi’s image as a dynamic, world-class destination.
