Renovated former elite Soviet resort in the Caucasus Mountains, converted into a chic 155-room hotel. Lively and visually striking midcentury modern-style library-lounge runs most of the length of the hotel, with breathtaking views of Mount Kazbek and 14th-century Gergeti Trinity Church. On no account reserve a forest-view room. Choose a mountain-view accommodation, ideally a larger Signature Room. All accommodations have balconies and attractive décor, but all rooms are small (no suites). Restaurant with communal tables for classic Georgian cuisine, and beautiful basement spa. Also an unobtrusive casino. Reserve unforgettable excursions into the Caucasus in advance, because guides are often unavailable last-minute.
Read the full review from our editors.
The breathtaking views from our room and public terrace; the memorably scenic excursions into the Caucasus; the warm, English-speaking staff; the pretty spa and large indoor pool; the extensive by-the-glass wine list.
Even the largest accommodations are rather small; the poor lighting over our vanity; the hit-or-miss food; the lack of dining tables for two.
Book excursions in advance of your arrival; guides often aren’t available if guests try to book last-minute tours. Visit the Gergeti Trinity Church as early in the morning as possible to avoid the crowds.
Lowest Rate: Double Room Forest View, $220; Editor’s Choice: Signature Room Mountain View, $330.
