The international hospitality and entertainment group Planet Hollywood Resorts International is launching its first project in the Caucasus - Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino Tbilisi.
The integrated resort will feature a casino of up to 5,000 square meters, a large entertainment and event space with a capacity of 4,000 people, and more than 6,500 square meters dedicated to Harvey Nichols retail.
It will also include international restaurants, nightclubs, and other lifestyle facilities.
The project is expected to create around 2,000 permanent jobs and significantly boost the city’s tourism-driven economy.
The project is being implemented in partnership with Orbi Group and Block Group, in association with Iconic Entertainment.
Planet Hollywood founder Robert Earl described the Tbilisi project as a pivotal step in the brand’s global evolution, noting the city’s distinctive character and strong potential.

Together with our partners, we are creating a destination that combines entertainment, hospitality, and immersive experiences in a way that is both ambitious and authentic to the market”, he said.
By introducing an integrated resort model - bringing together a casino, hotel, and entertainment under one roof - Planet Hollywood aims to capitalise on Tbilisi’s growing appeal as a year-round destination for high-spending leisure travellers.
Block Group CEO Tornike Janashvili called it a transformative moment for Tbilisi, saying the integrated resort would set a new standard in hospitality, entertainment, and regional economic impact.
