Swanky Hotel Transports Its Guests Into An Old Movie Set
A hotel in Tbilisi, Georgia, acts as a portal into an old film set with theatrical and dramatic interiors that would make any cinematic buff’s heart soar.
Blueberry Nights is a hotel dreamed up by architect Sandro Takaishvili who took an old apartment building and turned it into a 16-room space for weary travelers to rest their heads.
Some of Takaishvili’s inspirations include the gritty and raw stylings of Hong Kong director Wong Kar-Wai—the hotel was named after his 2007 My Blueberry Nights film—and the otherworldly imaginations of Stanley Kubrick.
The hotel captures the feeling of movies from these directors as seen by the sweeping dark blue walls and carpets that line the lobby and the rooms. Wooden furniture punctuates the dark interior, and moody ambient lighting floods the building to give a mid-century feel.
Up in the rooms, Takaishvili has injected the surrealist aesthetics of David Lynch’s 1984 Dune, Twin Peaks, and Mulholland Drive with low-lying beds, walnut fixtures, and room dividers to split the areas up.
Each room has one wall void of decorations where guests can stream movies via a smart projector.

The hotel grasps the essence of one’s love for the film without shoving posters and memorabilia in guests’ faces. Instead, it takes the sensation of watching movies from such directors and turns it into a dreamy aesthetic.
