- New Best Western Premier resort planned for Kakheti, Georgia's wine region
- No confirmed opening date yet; check Best Western's site before booking
- Expect more hotel options in Kakheti as wine tourism grows
Best Western Hotels & Resorts has announced plans to open a Best Western Premier property in Georgia’s wine country, the Kakheti region, according to industry reports. The move marks an expansion of the international hotel group’s presence in the South Caucasus.
Kakheti, located east of Tbilisi, is Georgia’s main wine-producing region and a popular destination for visitors interested in vineyards, traditional qvevri winemaking, and rural guesthouses. The addition of a branded international resort signals growing investor interest in the area’s tourism infrastructure.
No opening date or exact location within Kakheti has been specified. Further details on amenities, room rates, and booking availability are expected to follow as the project develops.
What it means for travellers
Travellers planning wine tours in Kakheti should watch for updates on the new property’s opening date and location. In the meantime, existing wineries, guesthouses, and boutique hotels across Telavi, Sighnaghi, and Kvareli remain the main lodging options.
