Lasha Papashvili: We Plan to Open Hilton Garden Inn Tbilisi Hotel in Autumn

Hilton Garden Inn Tbilisi Chavchavadze hotel will open in the second half of September or early October, REDIX Group founder Lasha Papashvili noted. We could not find the due candidate in Georgia.

Therefore, we have invited the hotel’s manager general from Poland, Papashvili noted. The tourism industry was frustrated for over 1 year and it was uneasy to attract due staff, the businessman explained. “If we have an optimistic scenario, we will open Hilton Garden Inn Tbilisi in autumn, in the second half of September or early October. We should take risks. Today, attracting professional staff represents the real challenge.

The industry stayed suspended for 1.5 years and people abstain to take risks. Therefore, when employing new staff, we make an agreement to maintain part of their salaries if the tourism industry and hotels close again. No other conditions raise interest… This problem exists worldwide. It is very difficult to find professional waiters, chefs”, Lasha Papashvili said. Hilton Garden Inn Tbilisi Chavchavadze comprises 170 suites, 8 conferences halls, Georgian restaurant, fitness center 24/7. The project’s investment value is $31 million.
