Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino has announced its expansion into the country of Georgia through a licensing agreement with local development firms Orbi Group and Block Group. This brings the brand's first integrated resort to Tbilisi as part of a large-scale hospitality project currently under construction.
The development will anchor a two-tower campus comprising a 500-room Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino alongside a 600-room Radisson Blu property, with additional amenities including a substantial casino floor, a 4,000-seat entertainment venue, over 70,000 square feet of Harvey Nichols retail space, and a variety of dining and nightlife options.
Positioned as the first fully integrated resort in Georgia, the project is intended to serve as a major tourism draw while generating significant local employment and supporting the country’s growing profile as a European travel destination.
