TL;DR
Batumi has both paid and free street parking. Near Orbi towers and the city center, street spots are available; cash payment is easier for those without a local bank card.
If staying at Orbi towers without a local bank card, check with building management about on-site or nearby parking. Street parking meters in Batumi may not accept foreign cards — paying in Georgian lari cash is more reliable.
For a few hours of sightseeing in Batumi: near the Old Town, street parking is available along the boulevard. Further along toward the Ali and Nino statue and the high-rise district, parking is easier to find with less congestion.
Parking in central Batumi is generally challenging. Arriving early or using covered/underground paid lots (where available) is advisable. Free street spots exist but require searching.
For travel from Borjomi to Batumi, taxi is a convenient option. GoTrip is considered a reliable and safe service for intercity trips in Georgia. Marshrutkas (minibuses) or a train with a transfer are also alternatives.
