The Best Hotels Near Vazisubani Estate, by the Record

  1. 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.


  2. 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.


  3. 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.


  4. 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.


  5. 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.


  6. 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.


  7. 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.


  8. 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.


  9. 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.
