Accommodation
Folk Boutique Hotel , Tbilisi In the heart of Old Tbilisi, this modern four-star property stands on the site of a celebrated 18th-century battle. The museum-like displays in the lobby of traditional 18th-century garments are echoed in the room decor and lend a quirky folk atmosphere.
Chemodann Hotel , Mount Kazbegi In a rugged valley at the foot of Mount Kazbegi, the Chemodann is a homely, chalet-style property near the Russian border. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer impressive views of the snow-capped Caucasus peaks and the famous ridgetop Gergeti Church.
Royal Palace Hotel , Lagodekhi The Royal Palace stands just where the Georgian plains give way to the lushly forested Caucasian foothills of Lagodekhi National Park. Resembling a country villa, the property has extensive gardens and a large pool offering a restful stay.
