Located in the centre of the city, in an uncanny historic building, the Hotel Gutsa offers a gratifying atmosphere and awe-inspiring views on Kostava Street.
The hotel is placed on the second floor of a three story house. It can be accessed from Kostava street through the entrance hall. Hotel Gutsa offers 4 rooms and 2 apartments. All the hotel rooms have views on Kostava Street, and only one of them overlooks the inner courtyard.
The two apartments that are run by the Hotel have separate entrances from the main hall. Both apartments feature a bedroom, a living room with an open plan kitchen and a bathroom.
The original wooden doors and window shutters, antique furniture and modern paintings create a charming atmosphere in the interior of the hotel. The coffee and tea area is arranged to warm and comfort the guests.
The building which places the hotel is a registered cultural heritage monument. It was designed in 1910 by Aleksandr Ozerov, the architect of many outstanding edifices in Tbilisi.
The building’s eccentric facade bears the traits of romanticism architecture, which expressed itself through imitations of older architectural styles. The asymmetric façade features a mezzanine, an attic, a bay window, a dome, a tower and a wooden balcony which contributes to a somewhat fairytale outlook.
In the 1980s, in this section of Kostava Street, where the building is located, the first floors of the houses were freed and a covered gallery-passage was arranged, in which a sidewalk was inserted, as a result of which the rather narrow road was widened.
It is within walking distance from here that city landmarks, such as Tbilisi Concert Hall, The Opera House and The National Museum can be reached.
An iconic part of the city and a quiet residential area Mtatsminda has become a symbol of Tbilisi's architectural and natural landscape. It dominates the city silhouette and can be admired from almost all other districts of Tbilisi. In the 19th century, the development of Rustaveli Avenue lent impetus to the urban growth on the slopes of Mtatsminda. The parallel streets of Rustaveli avenue were relatively wide and well-equipped, consequently they became preferred residence for the bourgeoisie; while the upper streets, on the slopes of Mtatsminda, were mostly narrow alleys, made up of smaller, two-story houses, in which craftsmen and workers lived. The development of Mtatsminda neighbourhood was further facilitated by the construction of the funicular, which connected the central districts of the city to the upper plateau of Mtatsminda. The funicular was built in 1903-1905. The building of the upper station of the funicular was constructed in 1938 and ever since it has become a landmark of the capital. There is a restaurant and bar inside the arched building. The main element of this building is a terrace, covered with an openwork ceiling and arches carried on high columns, and it is visible from many parts of the city. In 1929, pantheon of Georgian writers and public figures was opened on the terrace around Mamadaviti Church. In the 1930s, a 34-hectare Mtatsminda park was laid out, later its area was increased to 100 hectares. In 1956, the first television tower in Georgia was erected on the upper plateau of Mtatsminda, which was replaced by a new one in the 1970s.
