About this hotel
General information
The Telegraph occupies the modernist building that once housed the city’s central post and telegraph office, on Rustaveli Avenue, Tbilisi’s main thoroughfare. The building is known for its strong façade, heavy cornices and the way it steps down the sloping ground. In the conversion its concrete frame was left exposed and paired with walnut, fluted glass and brass, while the green that runs through the interiors takes its cue from old telephone switchboard lamps.
There are 239 rooms and suites, facing either the avenue or the inner courtyard. Nine restaurants and bars share the building – from Italian and Thai kitchens to a jazz club and a rooftop bar – alongside a wellness studio with a gym and a Pilates room. The hotel is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, and guests in the Club categories have their own lounge with a dedicated concierge.
Location
The hotel stands at 31 Rustaveli Avenue in central Tbilisi: the Georgian National Museum is 0.5 km away, the Opera and Ballet Theatre 0.6 km, Old Tbilisi about 1.2 km, the funicular up Mtatsminda 1.5 km, Narikala Fortress 2.2 km and the Abanotubani sulphur baths 2.3 km. Tbilisi International Airport is 18 km away; transfers are arranged by the hotel on request. Paid open-air parking and EV charging are available on site.
Spa
The Wellness Studio has treatment rooms for massage, recovery and individually tailored treatments, a fully equipped gym with personal trainers, and a dedicated Pilates room for solo practice or instructor-led sessions on a daily timetable.
Sports & leisure
Personal trainers are on hand in the gym, and the Pilates room follows a daily class timetable. From Wednesday to Sunday Tatuza Jazz Club hosts local and international jazz acts – up to 30 live sets a month – while the Rolling Stone Rooftop Bar hosts live performances.
The concierge builds personal itineraries: a half-day with a driver to Mtskheta and Jvari Monastery, about 30 minutes north; evenings at the Opera and Ballet Theatre; walks up to Narikala Fortress and Mtatsminda. Golfers can have tee times and transport arranged to Tbilisi Hills Golf Club, 17 km from the hotel.
