ibis Styles, Accor’s design-led economy hotel brand, announces the opening of the 121-room ibis Styles Batumi. The newly built hotel is the group’s first address in Batumi, Georgia’s second-largest city and the country’s leading Black Sea Resort.
ibis Styles hotels are renowned for combining affordability with a design-led spirit. While each of the brand’s 670 hotels around the world boast their own unique design and theme, all properties share a creative aesthetic, friendly service and comfort that makes them popular with travellers. The Sweet BedTM by ibis Styles has been specifically designed for the comfort of guests, with flexible, wood-slated box spring beds, a dense mattress, a 7cm topper for support, a light duvet and 2x large microfiber pillows.
The opening of ibis Styles Batumi builds on Accor’s rapid expansion in Georgia, with a portfolio of 10 properties currently operating and a development pipeline of 20+ hotels.
“Batumi stands out as one of Europe’s key travel destinations, thanks to its blend of historic charm and contemporary architecture, complemented by a mild climate and stunning nature. Our newest addition in Batumi represents a significant milestone for Accor, marking our debut on Georgia’s Black Sea coast. Georgia offers a wealth of opportunities for expansion, and we are committed to introducing our renowned brands to more destinations across the country and throughout the wider region,” said Alexis Delaroff, Chief Operating Officer of Accor New East Europe.
Located within walking distance from the famous Batumi Boulevard with a seafront park, ibis Styles Batumi offers guests a comfortable and relaxed stay, as well as a unique sports-themed design across the rooms and public areas which is inspired by Georgia’s national sport “Lelo” (modern Rugby).
Named one of the 2019 European Cities of Sport, Batumi is a cosmopolitan destination that actively promotes sports through many dedicated venues such as the recently opened Batumi Football Stadium, compliant with Category IV of the Union of European Football Associations.
ibis Styles Batumi features bright tones and playful design elements in its communal areas and guestrooms, which blend with the overall sports-themed interiors. The hotel boasts 121 rooms with stunning mountain and sea views designed as a living area where guests can rest, recharge or work. Enhanced sound and light insulation offer guests comfort and relaxation. ibis Styles Batumi provides everything needed for a comfortable stay with children, including a dedicated kids’ corner in the lobby, a children’s restaurant menu, as well as welcome gifts upon arrival.
Other facilities include a restaurant serving international and Georgian cuisines and a lobby bar offering refreshing beverages. The hotel also offers a conferencing and meeting venue, which can accommodate up to 80 delegates, with a professional sound system and flat-screen LCD TV.
Guests can reach the Batumi International Airport in less than 5-minutes and the Old Town with its historic buildings, cosy cafes and shops in just 10 minutes by car.
