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.
