# SamiMta — Hotel in Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti, Georgia > gtour.ge — G Tour, Gateway to Georgia. Cite as: GTour desk, gtour.ge. - Canonical: https://gtour.ge/georgia-places/place-samimta/ - Author: Prof. Giorgi Pkhakadze - Published: 2026-09-14 - Updated: 2026-10-30 - Language: en - Russian edition: https://gtour.ge/ru/georgia-places/place-samimta/ ### In short SamiMta is a small chalet-style hotel in Mestia, the Svaneti district capital, built to overlook the area’s thousand-year-old Svan defensive towers. The hotel says its name, “Sami Mta” (“three mountains”), refers to its position among Ushguli, Bangouriani and Tetnuldi. It operates as a limited collection of suites that can also be booked together as a single exclusive-use chalet, with a 24-hour concierge, an in-house chef offering bespoke menus, and a programme of guided hiking, skiing and sightseeing excursions around Svaneti. ### The building and its history The official website does not state a construction date, an architect, or a previous use for the building. According to the hotel, SamiMta was conceived as a chalet positioned to look directly over Mestia’s UNESCO-listed Svan towers, and it describes itself as a meeting point of “luxury, adventure and heritage.” No further dated history is published, so a timeline cannot be given with confidence; prospective guests wanting construction details should contact the hotel directly. *Image: SamiMta — Wooden lodge-style building with mountain views, surrounded by large rocks and greenery. — Wooden lodge-style building with mountain views, surrounded by large rocks and greenery.

Booking this category individually is possible, though the room is also offered as part of whole-chalet bookings. - **Luxe Mountain View** – 57 m², sleeps 2, mountain views; again described as five double-bedroom suites, each individually designed. - **Presidential Suite** – 100 m², two rooms, king-size bed(s), private terrace, a lounge area and a sauna. The hotel describes it as its “VIP room.” - **Exclusive Chalet Hire** – the entire property, around 1,500 m², with six bedrooms, a sauna and a shared lounge area, aimed at groups visiting the Mestia region together. The hotel notes that the Deluxe, Luxe and Presidential categories are offered “exclusive to entire chalet bookings,” meaning the property is generally run as a single rented chalet rather than a conventional multi-guest hotel with independent room sales. ### Restaurants, bars and venues SamiMta does not list any named restaurant, bar or event venue on its official site. Instead, the hotel describes a catering service built around its own chef, who prepares meals for guests staying in the chalet and will design a bespoke menu for anyone with dietary restrictions. Breakfast is included in every accommodation category. No separate dining or bar space is named, so meals appear to be served within the chalet itself rather than at a standalone outlet. ### Wellness, pool and fitness The site mentions a sauna as part of the Presidential Suite and as a shared feature of the Exclusive Chalet Hire option. No swimming pool, spa treatments or fitness room are listed on the official website. ### Meetings and events No dedicated conference rooms or event facilities are described on the site. The hotel positions the Exclusive Chalet Hire option, with its six bedrooms and shared lounge, as suited to groups visiting Svaneti together, and separately promotes multi-day family, sports and New Year programmes built around a full-chalet stay, but it does not describe business-meeting infrastructure. ### Awards and memberships The official site does not state any awards, ratings or hospitality-association memberships for SamiMta. ### Prices and booking The website does not publish room rates. Each accommodation category is listed with breakfast included, and the hotel invites travellers to submit their name, phone number and email through an online enquiry form so that a manager can “contact you to discuss the details of the booking.” Current rates and availability are given only through direct enquiry or the hotel’s own booking channel on its official site. ### Location and getting there SamiMta is located at Margiany 7 in Mestia, in the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region of north-west Georgia; the hotel’s contact page also gives a Plus Code, 2PVP+4CP, Mestia, Georgia.
