About Family Hotel Arte

Abastumani es un balneario en Georgia. En el pasado albergaba una fortaleza histórica. Aparte de las ruinas de los antiguos castillos, no hay mucho más que conservar. Sin embargo, existen ruinas de varios sitios históricos que datan del siglo XIX, incluyendo el sitio de un antiguo edificio cuya arquitectura se expresa en forma de una simple construcción de una sola planta. Debido a la importancia histórica del edificio, se decidió preservar algunas partes de las ruinas durante la etapa de reconstrucción, añadiendo un toque moderno con materiales delicados y vitrales.

In addition, due to the limited allowance to the building and the scarcity of land, there is a plan proposed by our client for a small family-owned hotel with a common dining area and several terraces. It is noteworthy that the side of the stained glass overlooks Abastumani forest, owning its existence to it and creating vast space in the interior with modern fireplace.
