Blueberry Nights in Tblisi Makes Guests Feel Like They’re in a Movie

A hotel in Tbilisi, Georgia, is seemingly a portal into old film sets. The hotel’s theatrical and dramatic interiors could make any cinematic buff’s heart soar.

An old apartment turned hotel dreamed up by architect Sandro Takaishvili, Blueberry Nights a 16-room hotel for weary travelers to rest their heads.

Takaishvili’s found inspiration from films such as the gritty and raw stylings of Hong Kong director Wong Kar-Wai. The hotel’s was name comes from the 2007 film My Blueberry Nights. The otherworldly imaginations of Stanley Kubrick also inspired the architect.

The hotel effectively captures the feeling of movies from these directors. as evidenced 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, giving it a mid-century feel.

In the rooms, Takaishvili has injected the surrealist aesthetics of David Lynch’s Dune, Twin Peaks, and Mulholland Drive with low-lying beds, walnut fixtures, and room dividers to separate the areas.

With cinematic in mind, each room has one wall void of decorations where guests can stream movies via a smart projector.

Blueberry Nights grasps the essence of love for cinema without plastering the walls with posters and cluttering rooms with memorabilia. Instead, it takes the sensation of watching movies from renowned directors and converts it into a dream-like aesthetic.
