Samtskhe-Javakheti holds two of Georgia’s best-known resort towns within an hour of each other. Borjomi built its reputation on the central park, the mineral water springs and a slower, spa-town pace, while Bakuriani sits higher in the mountains and functions as the country’s main ski base, with slopes at Kokhta and Didveli drawing visitors through winter and hikers in summer. Together the two towns give travellers a choice between a quiet valley cure and an active mountain stay, often combined on the same trip.

This list was compiled by the GTour desk from the national register of licensed accommodation, filtered to properties actually located in or around Borjomi and Bakuriani. Selection criteria were straightforward: proximity to the park, the springs or the ski areas, an established presence at a fixed address, and what the property offers a visitor on arrival. No property has paid for inclusion, and no ratings or rankings are claimed; entries are presented in no particular order.

1. Bakuriani Inn

Bakuriani Inn sits on Koba Tsakadze street in the heart of Bakuriani, a resort town known for its mountain air and unique climate. It suits travellers heading into the resort for the adventure and energy of the mountains rather than a quiet valley stay.

2. BM Plaza

BM Plaza is located at Kokhtis Dziri, placing it close to the Kokhta ski area on the edge of Bakuriani. The property is listed in the national tourism register and verified by GTour, making it a straightforward option for visitors focused on access to the slopes.

3. Borjomi Likani

Borjomi Likani is a five-star hotel on Meskheti Street in Borjomi, the town regarded as the birthplace of Borjomi mineral water. It suits travellers looking for a higher-end stay close to the source of the springs and the spa-town atmosphere.

4. Crowne Plaza Borjomi

Crowne Plaza Borjomi stands on N. Baratashvili street and offers 101 modern and comfortable rooms, giving it more scale than many of the smaller properties in town. It is a fit for travellers who want an international hotel brand with a larger room count while based in central Borjomi.

5. Crystal Hotel & Spa

Crystal Hotel & Spa is located at Didveli, within the Bakuriani mountain-ski resort area, roughly 185 km from Tbilisi. Its position near the Didveli slopes makes it a practical base for skiers and travellers who want to be close to the lifts rather than in the town centre.

6. Dialog Kokhta Bakuriani

Dialog Kokhta Bakuriani is situated on 9 April Street and is listed in the national tourism register, placing it in the Kokhta district used for skiing. It suits travellers prioritising proximity to the Kokhta slopes over a central Bakuriani address.

7. Emerald Borjomi

Hotel & Restaurant Emerald is located on Meskheti Street in Borjomi, close to the Borjomi park and surrounded by the scenery the town is known for. The on-site restaurant makes it a reasonable choice for travellers who want dining alongside their stay near the park.

8. Gantiadi Mountain Resort

Gantiadi Mountain Resort is located at Tsemi, in the Borjomi region, between the villages of Tsemi and Tba. It suits travellers who prefer a mountain resort setting outside the town centre over a stay directly in Borjomi or Bakuriani.

9. Hotel "Old Borjomi"

Hotel “Old Borjomi” is located on Andria Pirveltsodebuli street, near the central road through the resort town of Borjomi, in a cozy setting. It suits travellers who want a central, compact base for exploring the park and the town on foot.

10. Hotel Sapphire Bakuriani

Hotel Sapphire Bakuriani is centrally located on Borjomi Street in the ski resort of Bakuriani, with 27 elegantly appointed rooms. Its central position suits travellers who want to be within easy reach of the resort’s facilities without depending on transport to the slopes.

How to use this list

Readers planning a Borjomi stay centred on the park and mineral water should look first at properties on Meskheti Street and the central Borjomi addresses, while those heading to Bakuriani for skiing should weigh whether a central town location or proximity to a specific slope area such as Kokhta or Didveli matters more for their trip. As with all GTour register-based lists, travellers should confirm current details directly with each property before booking, since the register records location and licensing rather than day-to-day availability or pricing.
