The Best Hotels Near Raffles at Galaxy Macau, by the Record
-
Every room is a suite, which sets the tone fast at this Forbes Five Star hotel on the Cotai Strip. Raffles at Galaxy Macau goes heavy on marble, crystal, and etched glass inside a gilded exterior that makes neighboring casinos look almost restrained. Butler service runs around the clock, private pools come standard, and the guests tend to arrive with luggage that has its own luggage.

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.

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.

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.

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.
