The building and its history

The hotel’s own pages give two slightly different accounts of its opening. The homepage states that construction of “Gudauri Hills Apart Hotel” was completed in 2019 and that it opened officially on 20 December of that year. The separate “About Hotel” page, more recently updated, states that construction was completed in 2021 and that the hotel opened officially on 20 December 2021. No architect or prior use of the site is mentioned on the website; as an apart-hotel built from scratch for the Gudauri ski market, it has no stated earlier life as another type of building.
