Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti is one of Georgia’s largest administrative regions, stretching from the lowland city of [Zugdidi](/georgia/zugdidi/), Poti and Anaklia near the Black Sea up into the high mountain villages of Svaneti, including Mestia and Becho. Because the region joins these two very different landscapes under one administrative name, a traveller planning a trip through western Georgia often needs lodging in both zones: a base in or near Zugdidi before heading north, and a place to stay once in the mountains around Mestia.

This list was compiled by the GTour desk from Georgia’s national register of licensed accommodation providers. Entries were selected on the basis of location within the region, an established, verifiable presence (address and, in most cases, a working website), and what each property offers a traveller passing through Samegrelo or Svaneti. No payment was accepted for inclusion, and no ratings are claimed by GTour; any star ratings mentioned below are those stated by the properties themselves in the register.

### 1. Iberia Palace Hotel & Restaurant

Located on Tabukashvili street in the heart of Zugdidi, Iberia Palace is described in the register as the first four-star hotel in the city, combined with a restaurant on site. It suits travellers who want a comfortable lowland base before or after a trip into Svaneti.

### 2. Becho House

Becho House is a family hotel set on the main road of Lasdili, in the village of Becho in Svaneti, roughly 16 km from the Mestia area. It is suited to travellers looking for a quieter, village-based stay away from the busier Mestia centre.

### 3. Hotel Gistola In Mestia

On Boris Kakhiani Street in Mestia, Hotel Gistola is listed in the register as a five-star hotel combining authentic Svanetian style with modern comfort. It suits visitors who want a higher-end stay while exploring the Svaneti highlands.

### 4. Hotel Paliani

Hotel Paliani, on Avtandil Khergiani Street in Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti, is described as a stylish property designed and built to match the local natural and cultural environment. It appeals to travellers interested in architecture that reflects the surrounding Svanetian landscape.

### 5. HOTEL USHBA

Hotel Ushba is located at 9 Tamar Mephe Street in the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region and is listed in the national tourism register, with contact and map details verified by GTour. It is a straightforward option for travellers needing a registered, located address in the area.

### 6. Latour mestia

Latour Mestia sits on Erekle Parjiani alley, close to the centre of Mestia. It is a convenient choice for visitors who want easy walking access to the town centre while based in Svaneti.

### 7. Lileo

Lileo is located on Zurab Phaliani Street in the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region and is listed in the national tourism register, with map and contact details available. It suits travellers looking for a registered address within the Svaneti part of the region.

### 8. Seti Mestia Hotel

On Seti Square in the heart of Mestia, Seti Mestia Hotel is described as a cozy, stylish retreat offering views over the surrounding area. It suits travellers who want a central Mestia location combined with a more boutique atmosphere.

### 9. Banguriani

Banguriani is a four-star, cottage-style hotel in the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region, set at Kakhris Gora, with its own restaurant and a terrace overlooking the landscape. It suits visitors who prefer a cottage setting with on-site dining over a town-centre hotel.

### 10. Chalet Mestia

Located in the very heart of Mestia on Betlemi Street, Chalet Mestia offers 15 rooms, according to the register listing. It is suited to travellers who want a central Mestia base within easy reach of the town’s square and services.

### How to use this list

Readers planning a route through western Georgia can use this list to separate lowland and highland stays: Zugdidi properties such as Iberia Palace work well as a stop before or after driving into the mountains, while the Mestia- and Becho-based hotels suit the Svaneti leg of a trip. As with any register-based list, travellers should confirm current details such as availability and facilities directly with each property before booking, since GTour’s inclusion criteria cover location, established presence and registration status only, not service quality or pricing.
