5 Hotel Rooms In June 2017 five residential rooms were opened in Writers’ House of Georgia. Writers from all over the world already have a chance to stay and work in this historical building. As for the visitors of Tbilisi – they can spend unforgettable days in the heart of the old town, in this unique building situated in Sololaki, which, apart from representing an architectural masterpiece, has a captivating and interesting history.
The design of the Residency was created by famous Georgian artist Guga Kotetishvili specially for Writers’ House. Refined and exclusive decoration of residential suites harmonically fuses with and continues the outstanding design of the Art Nouveau building constructed in the beginning of 20th century. Each room is named after an acclaimed author and is unique thanks to its special and original design. Thus, Alexandre Dumas, Nizami Ganjavi, Boris Pasternak, Marjory and Oliver Wardrop and John Steinbeck suites exist as separate “museum-rooms” at Writers’ House and add another exceptional trait to the newly launched Residency.
Most rooms of the Residency look over one of the oldest streets of the city – Machabeli street, others have a garden view. This very garden is hosting an exceptional cafe in Tbilisi – “Littera”. Guests of the house will have a chance to taste exclusive meals of Georgian celebrity chef Tekuna Gachechiladze, created by her with a merger of Georgian and European traditional cuisines.
One of the first honorary guests of the Residency was the winner of the Nobel Prize for literature Svetlana Alexievich.
The elegant and exceptional 19th century neighborhood In the place of today's Sololaki, the king's and queen's gardens had been planted since the late Middle Ages. The toponym Sololaki comes from the Arabic words "sulu lah", which means an irrigation canal. In the second quarter of the 19th century, the rapid growth of Tbilisi was followed by the urbanisation of the territory of Sololaki. The development of the district proceeded along the road from Kala to Kojori and towards the foot of Mtatsminda. Obviously, the construction was accompanied by the clearing of the old gardens. By 1850, the whole of Sololaki was lined with streets, and the development already exceeded the boundaries of the gardens. It became the most prestigious place of residence for wealthy merchants and industrialists. By the early 1880s, the entire area from Leonidze Street to Sololaki ridge was made up of residential houses. From the 1870s, a new construction boom commenced in Sololaki. Larger, mostly two- and three-story houses were built instead of the older, relatively small ones. The current architectural appearance of the district was mainly formed in 1870-1910. Over time, Georgian intellectuals, scientists, writers and artists choose Sololaki as their place of residence. The construction of public, educational and commercial buildings in Sololaki started only at the beginning of the 20th century. To this day, Sololaki is one of the most prestigious residential areas of Tbilisi, meantime it is home to many famous landmarks, restaurants and cafes. Its opulently embellished houses and cobblestone streets maintain an air of mystery and an artistic vibe.
