Rooms Hotel Kazbegi

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.
