The 29 Best Hotels in Georgia

A Soviet-era post and telegraph office on Rustaveli Avenue, reimagined by Neri&Hu as a 239-room design hotel with the bones of the original Brutalist structure still showing. The layout borrows from the regional caravanserai tradition, drawing people through public spaces rather than sending them to their rooms, which explains the nine bars and restaurants full of locals who have no intention of checking in.

A curved glass facade designed to mirror the surrounding cityscape announces this 220-room luxury hotel at the edge of Tbilisi's historic Old Town. Interiors by a Paris firm fold in traditional Georgian motifs, chokha-influenced geometric patterns, and work by local artists. Five restaurants, a spa, and a concierge who seems to know everyone round out a hotel that earns its keep whether you've come to Tbilisi once or many times before.

A publishing house turned hotel, where the old editorial bones still show through velvet throws, Persian rugs, and handmade wallpaper layered over wood-plank floors. The Bar Room pours traditional Georgian wines, the restaurant draws locals who treat it as their own, and the leather sofas by the fireplace make leaving feel irresponsible. Tbilisi's Old Town cobblestones are just outside, which is a good reason to stay somewhere comfortable. It holds a Michelin Key.

Trees grow through the five-story central atrium, which tells you this hotel is going for something. Stamba occupies a 1930s publishing house in Tbilisi, and the post-industrial bones, leather headboards, brass fixtures, and weathered textures have been left largely intact. The Pink Bar with its crystal chandelier and the café draw as many locals as guests, which is usually a good sign. It holds a Michelin Key.

The rooftop glass-encased cocktail bar, looking out over the Mtkvari River and the old city's jumble of rooftops, is reason enough to book. This polished international chain hotel sits at the foot of the Dry Bridge antiques market, with a spa, indoor pool, and rooms done in pale parquet and floor-to-ceiling windows. It's the most contemporary sleep in a city that otherwise skews boutique and atmospheric, which is either a relief or a tradeoff, depending on your mood.

A beautifully restored heritage building in Tbilisi's historic district holds this boutique hotel, where the bones are old and the interior very much isn't. Rooms on the upper floors go hard on saturated orange and midnight blue; lower floors stay warmer and a little less theatrical. The in-house offerings are modest, but the staff fills that gap by knowing everyone in town. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels.

A full-scale hotel on Petre Melikishvili Street that leans hard into Georgian theatrical history, with a retro-futuristic design palette running somewhere between a Soviet-era stage set and a sharp modern renovation. Across ten floors and 118 rooms, the look is consistent: warm, a little dramatic, and clearly intentional. A spa, a brasserie, and two bars round things out. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels.

The bar is also the front desk, which tells you everything about a Moxy stay. This Tbilisi outpost follows the chain's playbook of industrial-chic styling, neon accents, and enough quirky objects to keep you looking, while the rooms dial things back to clean lines and calm colors. A 24-hour lobby snack station and an on-site pastry shop handle the before and after. Good for travelers who find lobbies boring and check-in formalities even more so.

One of only two surviving caravanserais in Tbilisi, this red-brick hotel with its Moorish facade sits in the old city, which means the history is doing a lot of the decorating. Inside, the restoration goes industrial-chic: a courtyard lobby with keyhole arches, dramatic lighting, and moody corridors leading to modern rooms with leather headboards and, in some cases, freestanding tubs and wraparound balconies. The restaurant has live music every night.

The facade alone stops people mid-stride: a sharp, ultra-modern statement that the name "Design Hotel" does not fully prepare you for. Rooms pull back from the drama outside, leaning instead on local craft and warm Georgian touches. A neo-bistro, a speakeasy bar, a garden restaurant, and an in-house coffee roastery round out the picture. Tbilisi's boutique hotel scene has been quietly ambitious, and this one fits that pattern.

A boutique hotel on one of Tbilisi's liveliest avenues, Unfound Door occupies an old building that sat untouched for decades before its current owners spent two years coaxing it back to life. The 13 rooms are all different from one another, period details intact but paired with proper modern comforts. The kind of place where the architecture does the talking, which is fortunate, because it has a lot to say.

A Negroni trolley in the lobby sets the tone: this is a boutique hotel that has opinions. Tucked into Sololaki, an old neighborhood of restaurants and live music with bones from its 19th-century heyday, the restored townhouse fills its rooms with jewel-toned walls and a roving collection of Art Nouveau to mid-century furniture. Breakfast comes around a communal table, or to your room if you're not feeling social.

The rooftop terrace is the real reason to book here, a perch for Georgian wine with the old city spread out below. This modern hotel sits a short walk from Metekhi Cathedral and the famous sulfur baths, which puts it ahead of most of the crumbling-charm competition nearby. Rooms run bright and contemporary, with parquet floors and jewel-toned accents, and there's a working fitness center, a detail that sounds minor until you try finding one in Old Tbilisi.

One suite has a glass floor suspended over the Mtkvari River, which sets the bar early for this boutique hotel in Old Tbilisi. The building dates from the 19th century, and the design layers Moorish archways, Art Deco headboards, and geometric tilework into something that makes Silk Road crossroads feel less like a history lesson and more like a mood. Every room has a balcony, breakfast is traditionally Georgian, and the rooftop looks out over the hills.

A 14-room boutique hotel occupying an antique townhouse in Chugureti, the kind of creative neighborhood where the coffee shops have opinions. Communal Plekhanovi mixes period architecture and classic fixtures with a boldly graphic color sense, and no two rooms look alike, though somehow it all coheres. Breakfast is a proper spread of Georgian cooking, and the bar and terrace keep things social. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels.

A boutique hotel in Avlabari, steps from the Holy Trinity Cathedral, Khedi splits its 57 rooms and suites between two distinct moods: one vivid with a modern take on Georgian tradition, the other cooler and more spare. The Ginza Project, known in Russia for serviced apartments, made this its first hotel outside that world, and the difference shows in how seriously the restaurant is taken, with a well-regarded local chef running the kitchen.

Scalloped velvet headboards and botanical print throws make clear that the design team had strong opinions, and the 35 rooms lean into bold, shifting palettes rather than the usual neutral boutique hotel hedge. Some rooms look over the Mtkvari River, others onto the garden. The restaurant pulls from seasonal Georgian ingredients with international touches. Narikala fortress, the sulfur baths, and the old bazaar are all walkable, which does a lot of the work for you.

Floors 19 to 35 of Tbilisi's tallest building, in the upscale Vake district, with floor-to-ceiling glass turning city sprawl into wallpaper you never picked. This full-service hotel keeps a French restaurant and a sky bar on the 36th floor, a pool with an opening roof, and a spa on hand, so you can feel very high up in multiple senses. The Michelin Guide includes it among its selected hotels.

Georgia's Kakheti region has been making wine longer than most of Europe has had a civilization, and the Tsinandali Estate sits right in the middle of it. The Radisson Collection hotel is a modern, boutique-luxury property that earns a Michelin Key, its contemporary interiors nodding gently to the 19th-century estate around them. An infinity pool, a spa, and three in-house venues, including a wine bar pouring the estate's own vintages, round out the picture.

Sixty hectares of Kakheti countryside, tucked between the Caucasus Mountains and a quiet lake, with forest trails, vineyards, and over 200 rooms spreading out from what started as a small guesthouse. Lopota Lake Resort holds a Michelin Key. Horses, spa, estate wine from Château Buera, and vegetables that seem to have traveled about thirty feet before reaching the table. The scale could feel anonymous; somehow it doesn't.

A short drive from Tbilisi into the Kojori hills, this wellness resort hides behind a grass-covered sloping roof and a wall of native forest. Bungalows rise on stilts among the trees with floor-to-ceiling windows and private rooftop terraces; the chalets add a second level, lake views, and deck Jacuzzis. The spa handles detox programs and massage, but the forest walk and a glass of organic wine by the fireplace do roughly the same job.

Victorian antique furniture, sourced from England, fills the 19 rooms and suites of this restored 19th-century estate in the Kakheti wine region. The parkland rolls into working vineyards where grapes are fermented using the ancient qvevri method, and those wines pour at dinner alongside creative Georgian cooking built largely from the estate's own garden. It holds a Michelin Key, and feels like a Georgia most visitors never find.

A 19th-century townhouse in Kutaisi's old quarter, with Symbolist poetry stenciled on the walls and photographs of local playwrights keeping watch from the hallways. Each room follows the original floor plan and comes stuffed with antiques, including one with a clawfoot tub under a frieze of Jason himself. The Doli restaurant runs a traditional clay oven for Western Georgian cooking. A boutique hotel that wears its city's mythology lightly, which is harder than it sounds.

Moorish archways and hand-painted tiles survived the renovation of this historic villa in Georgia's wine country, and the team behind Communal's Tbilisi boutique hotels built around them rather than over them. The philosophy is communal in practice: a shared breakfast table, a poolside bar, an all-day spot for local food and natural wines. Rooms go full eclectic, with emerald accent walls, velvet daybeds, and handwoven rugs. The vineyards start just outside town.

A 375-foot saltwater pool cantilevered over the Black Sea sets the tone at this sprawling resort on Georgia's Black Sea coast, where the lobby also runs a walk-through aquarium because apparently the view wasn't enough. Rooms are light and wide, with private balconies and deep soaking tubs. An indoor waterpark, tennis courts, and a winter garden keep families occupied, while the spa handles the other half of the equation.

A hotel in Georgia's Kakheti wine region where the rooms come dressed in rich wood tones and vintage-inspired furniture, so the whole place reads like a well-heeled guesthouse that also happens to have three bars, one of them devoted entirely to local wine. Two restaurants serve Georgian food, a tea lounge overlooks the vineyards, and the spa and pools handle the afternoons. The Michelin Guide selects it among its hotels.

A wooden lodge dwarfed by snow-capped Caucasus peaks, this hotel in remote northern Georgia looks like a film set and knows it. The rustic-chic interior runs to floor-to-ceiling windows, leather sofas, vintage carpets, and a fireplace reliably surrounded by Georgian wine. Guest rooms stay deliberately spare, with private balconies facing the mountains, so the view does the heavy lifting. The terrace, the library, and the indoor pool all earn their keep between hikes.
