Best hotels in Kutaisi and Imereti

By Nino Gelashvili, Travel News Editor · 16/10/2026

Selected by the GTour desk from the national register of licensed places. Updated October 2026; reviewed yearly. No place pays to appear.

Kutaisi, Georgia’s historic second city in the Imereti region, has become the country’s main western gateway thanks to its international airport, and it sits within easy reach of the Gelati Monastery complex, the Okatse and Martvili canyons, and the limestone caverns of Prometheus Cave and Sataplia. Further out, the Imereti lowlands and foothills hold the spa town of Tskaltubo, famous since Soviet times for its mineral-water baths, and the mountain resort of Sairme in the Baghdati region, long associated with its own mineral springs. Together these places make Imereti a base for travellers mixing a short city stay with day trips into caves, canyons and monasteries.

The hotels below were selected by the GTour desk from the national register of licensed accommodation. Selection was based on location relative to Kutaisi, Tskaltubo and Sairme, an established and findable presence (an operating website in most cases), and what each property states it offers a visitor passing through the region. No payment was received for inclusion and no ratings or rankings beyond list order are claimed; all details are drawn directly from each entry’s own register listing.

It suits travellers who want a base close to the Gelati site itself rather than deep in the city centre.

2. Boutique Hotel Argo
