Hotel London 1889 & Casino

Hotel London 1889 & Casino Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Hotel London 1889 & Casino? Walking up to this place on the corner of Zhordania and Gamsakhurdia – honestly, the name had me expecting some stuffy Victorian throwback, but it’s actually this sleek, modern five-star property that somehow manages to feel both elegant and welcoming. I mean, the casino element might sound flashy, but it’s tastefully integrated, not the kind of garish setup you’d worry about.

The location is pretty smart if you know Batumi at all. You’re close enough to the seafront that you can hear the Black Sea on quiet evenings, but tucked away from the main tourist chaos along the boulevard. I actually appreciated that – you get the energy of the city without the constant street noise that some of the beachfront hotels deal with. The staff here genuinely knows their stuff too, which isn’t always a given in Georgia’s hospitality scene, even at this level. They helped me sort out some local transportation that ended up saving me quite a bit of hassle getting to the old botanical garden.

What really struck me was the attention to detail in the rooms – proper blackout curtains (crucial if you’re jet-lagged), solid soundproofing, and bathroom fixtures that actually work the way they’re supposed to. The casino floor has this warm, amber lighting that creates a nice atmosphere even if you’re not gambling, and their restaurant does this interesting fusion of Georgian and international cuisine that doesn’t feel forced. I had this khachapuri variation that I’m still thinking about weeks later. The whole property has this confidence to it, you know? Like they’re not trying too hard to impress but they’re clearly taking care of business. For Batumi, especially at this price point, that combination of professional service and genuine Georgian hospitality is harder to find than you’d think.

To book a hotel in Batumi during major cultural festivals, travelers need early planning as this vibrant Georgian resort draws visitors eager to experience its subtropical climate and modern seaside architecture.

  Amazing hotel, kind and helpful staff. Great location in the city center!

• Very nice but there is some room for improvement. – Primoz from Slovenia – July 24, 2025 (8/10)

  Excellent breakfast, clean room, comfortable beds. The staff was helpful providing all the information we needed and by helping us to find a parking spot for a car (which was a demanding task at the time we arrived).
  
  What could be improved: We arrived at 5PM and the rooms were not ready yet, so we had to wait they finished with the cleaning. The sheets on one bed were very wet and they changed it immediately after our request (but they could have noticed that by themselves). Streets around the hotel are fully parked and very narrow.

• Great Hotel and Stuff ! – Green from Israel – May 21, 2025 (10/10)

  The crew was very friendly, they took care of every request we had. From questions regards the breakfast, food order, room service, and external services – I've celebrated my birthday while staying at the hotel, my wife order a birthday cake, and they made the order, delivery and came singing birthday songs with balloons and the ordered cake, at 00:00 exactly as my wife asked them.
  Room services and cleaning services were amazing for us, as we just tagged the room button for clean-up and they took care of everything, changing the sheets, bathroom Accessories, towels, shower soup. they even put the Rose we bought in a water glass without us thinking about it.
  Bartenders were extremely patient and polite.
