Mestia Roots — Hotel in Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti, Georgia

Mestia Roots is a hotel located in Mestia, the main town of the Svaneti highlands in the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region of Georgia. The property sits on Boris Kakhiani street, within the town itself, placing guests close to Mestia’s central area rather than in an outlying village.

Mestia is known as the gateway to Upper Svaneti, a mountainous district recognized for its medieval defensive towers, traditional Svan architecture, and surrounding peaks of the Greater Caucasus. The town serves as a base for exploring nearby villages such as Ushguli, as well as trekking routes, the local history and ethnography museum, and ski infrastructure on the slopes above the town. Mestia is reachable by road from Zugdidi, and also has a small airport used for domestic flights connecting to other parts of Georgia.

Given its in-town location, Mestia Roots suits travelers who want convenient access to local services, restaurants, and transport links while using the hotel as a base for day trips into the wider Svaneti region, whether for hiking, mountain scenery, or visiting the area’s historic tower villages.
