Hotels in Batumi

Staying in Batumi

Reading the city is easy: a long seaside boulevard with a pebble beach on its seaward side and parkland and the newer towers on the other, an old town of low Ottoman-era streets near the port at the northern end, and a grid of residential streets filling the space back to the hills. The botanical garden lies up the coast to the north, and the mountain villages begin not far inland. The airport is south of the city, close to the coast, and the road in runs parallel to the sea through the southern suburbs. Many arrivals also come overland from Tbilisi by road or rail, or across the land border from Turkey a short way to the south; the railway station is on the northern edge of town. Whichever way you arrive, the hotel is reserved on AI Concierge with your dates. The choice is between the boulevard and the old town. On the seafront you get the beach, the sunsets and the big hotels; in the old streets near the port you get cafes, a quieter night and the water still within walking distance. If you are here in summer, check your dates early, since the seafront is where most people want to be.
