Sheraton Batumi Hotel – An Iconic Five-Star Landmark on the Coast

Overview

Towering above Batumi‘s historic Boulevard, the Sheraton Batumi Hotel is the city‘s most recognisable luxury hotel, celebrated for its lighthouse-inspired design and prime beachfront location. As the only hotel in Batumi with a 360-degree panoramic restaurant, this iconic 118-metre tower offers guests an unparalleled perspective of the Black Sea, the Adjara mountains and the vibrant city skyline.

Practical Tips

Best Time to Visit

What to Know Before You Go

• Parking is limited – The hotel offers complimentary on-site parking, but spaces are limited and can be reserved for VIP guests. Arrive early or consider using a taxi.
