People have lived in the area now called Georgia for a really, really long time, and when you visit you’ll see why: it’s verdant, varied and really, really breathtakingly beautiful. From the Black Sea coast through the rich green valleys lined with grape vines, to the mountains with their hidden villages built into caves or on clifftops, and ancient, ever-changing cities. And our recommendations for the best places to stay in Georgia should reflect this incredible variety. Unfortunately at the moment our list doesn’t (we're currently working hard to put that right). We’re missing the best of the Black Sea resorts, and vineyards with rooms, we’re also missing the equestrian centres surrounded by incredible mountain landscapes and views that go on forever. And we know there are great ski resorts too! Georgia’s cities have some great hotels as well, lively, modern and often affordable, like the cities themselves.
Georgia isn’t particularly difficult to travel to, and since about 2005 Georgia’s tourist infrastructure has been improving, especially around the Black Sea, and there’s relatively little crime or corruption.

A stunning, ultra-modern hotel set on the edge of nature in rural Georgia. Everything is catered towards emphasising the hotel's magnificent location with its lovely rooms, restaurant and swimming pool boasting fantastic views of the surrounding mountains. A true Georgian wonder.
