The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the most dynamic hotel groups worldwide and a member of the Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group, is proud to announce the signing of the first Radisson Red in Georgia.

The new build city-centre stand-alone hotel will be located in the heart of the city on Chavchavadze Street. The Radisson Red Chavchavadze, Tbilisi is expected to open its doors in mid-2019, and will feature around 100 rooms.

Elie Younes, Executive Vice President & Chief Development Officer of The Rezidor Hotel Group said: “Eastern Europe is a very promising market for travel and tourism, and Georgia has one of the fastest growing tourism rates in the region. We are delighted to further diversify our contemporary offer in Tbilisi and bring our award-winning lifestyle select brand Radisson Red to the city. Radisson Red appeals to the ageless millennial mindset, is inspired by art, music and fashion, and breaks the traditional hotel model. We strongly believe that the property will take the Georgian hospitality scene to a new level.”

“We are delighted and confident to partner with The Rezidor Hotel Group and to bring the first Radisson Red to Georgia. Rezidor is one of the strongest and most innovative hospitality leaders in EMEA. With the award-winning launch of Radisson Red in Brussels earlier this year, they have once again proven their capacity to operate successful brands and hotels internationally,” added George Gedevanishvili, Project Manager for LLC Commerce Group.

The hotel will cater for business and leisure travelers and will feature a restaurant with an outdoor terrace and rooftop bar. The hotel will be ideally located in the prime city center, on one of the main avenues named after the writer Ilia Chavchavadze.

The Radisson Red Chavchavadze, Tbilisi will be managed and operated by The Rezidor Hotel Group.
