"Georgia has established itself as a premier platform for world-class projects, with Ajara becoming increasingly attractive to international brands each year, a trend continuously fostered by our government’s peace-oriented and development-driven policies. The inclusion of Batumi in Cipriani’s global portfolio alongside, the world’s leading metropolises, will further elevate our city’s international profile. Globally, this brand is synonymous with the highest standards of service and success. Today, this rich Italian heritage arrives in Ajara, bringing a new, distinctive character to Batumi," stated Zurab Pataradze.

He further emphasized: "The choice of Batumi for this project is no coincidence. The growing global recognition and dynamic development of our region remain key driving factors for international investors.
