Tbilisi Marriott Hotel
Shota Rustaveli Avenue, Georgia · built 1915
The Tbilisi Marriott Hotel is a luxury five-star hotel located on Rustaveli Avenue in Tbilisi, Georgia. Built as a high-class hotel on the commission of the wealthy Armenian merchant Mikael Aramyants, it was opened in 1915 as Hôtel Majestic. During World War I, from 1915 to 1917, the hotel accommodated a military hospital before it could be opened for the public. After the Soviet invasion of Georgia, the building was transferred into Trade Palace for workers. In February 1939, the refurbished building was restored to its original function as Hotel Tbilisi. Heavily damaged by fire during the December 1991–January 1992 coup d'etat, a prelude to the Georgian Civil War, it was reconstructed from 1995 to 2002. On 26 September 2002, a Marriott Hotel was opened in the building.
