Written by Ayushi, a frequent traveller who’s stayed in multiple places across Tbilisi, while exploring the city
If you’re visiting Tbilisi with someone special, few things beat having your own balcony to step out on — glass in hand, fortress lights flickering across the valley, and the smell of grilled mtsvadi rising from the streets below. The city’s best romantic hotels aren’t just about fancy rooms; they’re about moments: private terraces at sunset, historic courtyards lit by wine lamps, and little balconies that make you feel like the Old Town belongs to you.
I’ve rounded up seven of the most atmospheric hotels in Tbilisi that balance comfort, charm, and views. Each one has verified guest reviews (8.0 and above), genuine balcony or terrace options, and that essential Georgian sense of warmth that turns a stay into a story.

What to Look for in a Romantic Balcony Hotel in Tbilisi
Balcony rooms in Tbilisi vary more than you’d expect — some overlook courtyards, others open straight toward Narikala Fortress or the Mtkvari River. For real atmosphere, aim for south- or west-facing balconies where you can catch golden-hour light. If you’re after peace, skip lower levels in busy areas like Rustaveli and ask for upper-floor or courtyard-side rooms.
When booking, always double-check the room name — ‘City View’, ‘Fortress View,’ or ‘Balcony Room’ aren’t interchangeable. And if a hotel offers wine or dinner service on a private terrace, it’s usually worth the upgrade.
If you’re still choosing your base, Old Tbilisi vs New Tbilisi: Where Should You Stay? gives a quick sense of which areas feel more atmospheric once you’re on the ground.

Its restaurant and bar are local favorites, and Freedom Square is a five-minute walk away. In the evening, the area winds down enough to feel peaceful but stays safe and well lit.

Avlabari riverside · ≥ 8.0 · ≥ 100 · $$–$$$
Vinotel sits just across the river from Old Tbilisi, in a 19th-century building restored with wood carvings and arched cellars. It’s as close as you get to a wine salon that also happens to be a hotel. Couples love the intimate vibe: balcony rooms overlooking the courtyard, period furniture, and live piano music by night.
The restaurant draws locals for its wine pairings, and the cellar is lined with rare Georgian bottles. If you prefer romance with character over minimalism, this is the one.

4) Blue Balcony Hotel — Modern Romance in the City Centre
Freedom Square fringe · ≥ 8.0 · $$–$$$
Blue Balcony Hotel is a newer addition to central Tbilisi and takes its name seriously — almost every room comes with a balcony. Interiors are fresh, light, and pared back, a welcome contrast to heavier Old Town designs. You’re steps from the main avenues but still get quiet mornings and evening light on the facades around you.
Because it’s small and run by a local team, service feels personal and warm. High-floor rooms deliver the best city-line glimpses and sunset color.

It’s a small, design-forward boutique with balconies on most floors — the higher you go, the broader the view.

Booking Tips for Romantic Balcony Rooms in Tbilisi
1. Confirm balcony type. Some are Juliet railings; others fit a table and chairs. Always check the photos in your selected room category.
2. Request upper floors. Tbilisi’s views change block by block; top floors often clear street noise and rooftops.
3. Time your stay. April–June and September–October have the best weather for sitting outside.
4. Book direct for extras. A few properties (like Vinotel or IOTA) include complimentary wine or spa discounts when booking directly or via partner links.
5. Ask about sunrise vs sunset. Old Town balconies generally face east (great for mornings); Metekhi and Vera areas catch sunset light.
