Borjomi is a mountain spa town tucked into a Caucasus valley, where Georgians have come to drink and bathe in the mineral water since the tsarist era. The scent of that mineral water drifts on cool air off the pine forest, and the whole town is built around it. Where you sleep here really comes down to two areas. If you want to roll out of bed and walk straight to the mineral-water springs, stay in the Baratashvili district in the town centre, right next to Borjomi Central Park — the keycard at some hotels even doubles as free park entry. If you'd rather wake up to quiet forest and the old Romanov palace, base yourself in the Likani district along the Kura River, out at the mouth of the national park entrance. Both sides of town reward a stay. The centre keeps you close to the springs, the cable car and the cafes; Likani trades that buzz for river quiet and forest walks. Below are 12 hotels we'd actually book in Borjomi, spread across both districts and every budget — from full-service five-star spa resorts by the park to riverside boltholes near the Romanov grounds and simple guesthouses for travelers watching the bill.

No. 1 #1 5-star flagship · next to the mineral-springs park ★9.2 Crowne Plaza Borjomi by IHG
📍 On Baratashvili Street in the town center, beside the Borjomula River — a few minutes' walk to the entrance of Borjomi Central Park and its mineral springs.
Picture a sleek, modern 5-star building dropped right in the middle of Borjomi, the mineral-water town, sitting beside the river that runs through the center, a few minutes' walk from the gates of Borjomi Central Park where Georgians come to fill cups straight from the springs. That is Crowne Plaza Borjomi by IHG, the town's flagship under the IHG brand. There are 101 rooms in warm, contemporary tones, and the talking point everyone mentions is the 2,400-square-metre spa — the largest in town, with an indoor pool, sauna and mineral-water treatments. Best of all, your room key card gets you into the springs park for free, no ticket queue. Location, service and range like this put it at #1 on Tripadvisor (4.5/5) with a Travelers' Choice award. It suits couples and families who want to relax in the Caucasus mountains without fuss. Our overall score is 9.2/10.
- City-center spot, a few minutes' walk to the springs park
- 2,400 sqm spa, the largest in town
- Room key card gets you into the springs park free
- Noticeably pricier than other places in town
- Small, quiet town with little going on at night

No. 2 #2 Wellness · pine forest inside the national park ★8.8 Borjomi Likani Health & Spa Centre
📍 In pine forest in the Likani district inside the park, beside the Borjomula river and Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park, about 3 km from central Borjomi.
Picture a resort dropped into thick green pine forest in a valley, a clear river running past the front of the building, and cool mountain air that opens your lungs the moment you step out of the car. That is Borjomi Likani Health & Spa Centre, a 5-star wellness resort in the Likani district that plenty of people still know by its old name, Rixos Borjomi. What makes it special is the setting inside Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park, one of the largest parks in Europe, with the Romanov dynasty summer palace on the same grounds, where Russian tsars once came to take the mountain air. The draw is the full wellness centre: an indoor pool, sauna, Turkish hammam, even an indoor tennis court. Most guests are not here to wander town, they come to actually recover, walking the forest, soaking in the spa, eating well, sleeping deep. Reviews line up on the quiet and the scenery that stays pretty in every season. It scores 8.8/10 and suits couples, families, and anyone who wants to reset for a few days.
- Pine-forest setting by the Borjomula river, quiet with clean air
- Full spa-wellness with indoor pool, sauna, and Turkish hammam
- Romanov palace on site, right beside the national park
- Out of town with no shops or restaurants nearby, so you rely on a car
- Large resort building, with some corners showing their age

No. 3 #3 best location · beside the Borjomi mineral-water park gate ★8.6 Golden Tulip Borjomi
📍 Central Borjomi, right beside the entrance to Borjomi Central Park (the mineral-water park), only about 30 metres away. A few minutes on foot to the free mineral-water springs and the mineral pools.
Picture a hotel set inside a former palace built back in 1892 by a Persian ambassador, where you step out the gate and walk about 30 metres to the entrance of Borjomi Central Park, the famous mineral-water park at the heart of town. That is the pull of Golden Tulip Borjomi, a 4-star boutique sitting in the single best location for park visitors. The building keeps its old-world character: stucco moulding, high ceilings and a handsome staircase. Rooms are done in warm classic-luxe tones with soft beds, and many look out onto greenery and the stream that runs through town. There is a spa for massages, plus a jacuzzi and sauna to soak away the day, a good-looking bar for an evening drink, and a breakfast that reviewers praise as generous and varied. Wake up and you are a few steps from the park's free drinking-water springs. Overall 8.6/10, best for couples and families who want the easiest walk to the park.
- 30 metres from the park gate — the easiest walk to the park in town
- Inside an 1892 former palace with a classic atmosphere
- Spa, jacuzzi and sauna plus a generous breakfast
- Old building, so some rooms run small and floor plans vary a lot
- Small town with few late-night dining options after dark

No. 4 #4 Value pick · riverside baroque palace ★8.5 Borjomi Palace Health & Spa Center
📍 On Gamsakhurdia Street in central Borjomi, on the bank of the Kura River — the river is about 100m away and the town centre is a 286m walk, close to Borjomi Central Park.
Picture a big pale building dressed up in Romanov-era baroque — columns, chandeliers and moulded plasterwork — standing on the bank of the Kura River in the heart of the mineral-water town of Borjomi. That is Borjomi Palace Health & Spa Center, a 4-star spa hotel with 164 rooms, sitting only about 286m from the town centre and roughly 100m from the river. What people talk about is the mix: indoor and outdoor pools, a medical spa that leans on the town's famous mineral water, an in-house winery for tasting Georgian wine on the spot, and a rooftop restaurant where you sip a drink over the full sweep of the Borjomi valley. All of it comes at a 4-star price that reviews keep calling a strong deal. It suits couples and families who want a classic, old-world feel in the Lesser Caucasus without paying 5-star money. Our overall score: 8.5/10.
- Romanov-era baroque building that feels like a palace
- Indoor + outdoor pools, spa, winery and rooftop all in one place
- 4-star price that reviews agree is strong value
- Classic old-world building; some corners look dated next to modern hotels
- Busy in summer high season — pools and spa can mean queues

No. 5 #5 Quiet and close to nature · riverside villa in the pines ★8.5 Villa Likani
📍 Likani district on the edge of Borjomi, right on the Kura River next to pine forest and the Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park. Quiet and set back from the town center and the mineral-water park, a few minutes away by car or taxi.
Picture a small villa tucked away in Likani, on the edge of Borjomi, sitting beside the Kura River and ringed by dense pine forest and the Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park — that is the pull of Villa Likani, a 5-star boutique stay that feels more like your own holiday house than a big hotel. Because it is small with only a handful of rooms, the mood is unusually private and quiet, which is exactly what couples escaping the crowds tend to want. Many rooms come with a mountain-view balcony where you can step out into the cool pine air, sip morning coffee and listen to the river and the birds. The decor is warm and clean, there is an in-room spa tub and a bathrobe for a soak after a day out, breakfast is served as an American-style buffet, and the place is pet-friendly. The location sits a little out from the mineral-water park in town, but you trade that for a calm and a natural setting a central hotel cannot match. It scores 8.5/10.
- Private and quiet, riverside in the pine forest
- Mountain-view balconies and an in-room spa tub to soak in
- Pet-friendly with a buffet breakfast
- In Likani, set back from the mineral-water park and town — you need a car
- Small villa with few rooms, books up fast in high season

No. 6 #6 Best value · family home, 3-minute walk to the mineral-water park ★9 Borjomi UnderWood
📍 Central Borjomi, about a 3-minute walk to the gates of Borjomi Central Park (the mineral-water park), close to restaurants and the market — an easy stroll to the free drinking spring and the cable car up the hill.
Picture a handsome family home that's only just been built, sitting right in the middle of Borjomi — walk out the gate and roughly 3 minutes later you're at the entrance of Borjomi Central Park, the famous mineral-water park that's the heart of town. That's the appeal of Borjomi UnderWood, a small 4-star place the family runs themselves. The rooms are spotless and modern in a warm palette, the beds are soft, and what reviewers love most is the view — green mountains out the window plus the steady background sound of a waterfall and running water that makes for easy sleep. The thing guests mention most, though, is the welcome: owner Dimitri and his family look after you with genuine Georgian warmth, steering you to places to eat and see, sometimes with homemade fruit or snacks. You're a short walk from restaurants, the market, and the free drinking spring. All of this at a price reviewers call a steal — which is how the rating climbed to 9.0/10.
- 3-minute walk to the mineral park, close to restaurants and the market
- Newly built family home, clean, mountain views and waterfall sound
- Warm owner welcome, great value, score 9.0
- Small hotel, limited rooms, no spa or pool like the big chains
- Borjomi town has few late-night spots and goes quiet early

No. 7 #7 Eco boutique · in nature just outside town ★9.3 Rivendell
📍 On a hillside just outside Borjomi, surrounded by forest and valley — about a 10 to 15 minute drive to Borjomi Central Park in the centre of town.
Picture a warm wooden house tucked onto a hillside just outside Borjomi, ringed by pine forest and green valley views that run as far as you can see — that's Rivendell, an eco-friendly boutique guesthouse named after the refuge in The Lord of the Rings, and once you arrive you understand why. The rooms are stylishly done in wood, warm-toned, with a faint scent of timber and balconies that open onto the mountains — the kind of view that makes you want to sit with a coffee for a long while. The detail guests rave about most is the organic vegetable garden, where you walk out and pick fresh produce for the kitchen to cook into breakfast — all local ingredients, so fresh that many call it the best breakfast of their trip. The owner and team look after guests warmly, like family. The catch is the location: it's roughly 10 to 15 minutes by car from the central park, so you'll want your own car or a taxi.
- Warm wood rooms with gorgeous valley views
- Organic vegetable garden plus fresh-cooked breakfast
- Owner looks after guests warmly and personally
- Far from town — you need a car or taxi
- Few rooms, simple stay with no lift

No. 8 #8 Mid-budget value - central location with an in-house spa ★8.2 Hotel Borjomis Kheoba
📍 Central Borjomi, on the opposite bank of the river, near Borjomi train station (just over the bridge) and about a 15-minute walk to the gates of Borjomi Central Park.
Picture a mid-budget hotel planted in central Borjomi, across the river that runs through town, where you can walk over the bridge to reach Borjomi train station and stroll about 15 minutes to the gates of Borjomi Central Park, the mineral-water park everyone comes for. That is the pitch of Hotel Borjomis Kheoba, a 3-star place that leans hard on value. What sets it apart from the usual mid-range stay is an in-house full-service spa and an indoor sulfur pool, so you can soak in warm mineral water after a full day on your feet without leaving the building. Rooms are simple, clean and easy on the eye, the beds are comfortable, and the detail reviewers keep praising is the large windows that open onto green mountains and the river running past. Mornings bring the crisp, cool air of a hillside spa town. There is an on-site restaurant and bar, and breakfast is included. Overall a tidy base for seeing Borjomi on a budget while keeping the comforts. Score 8.2/10.
- Strong value, central location near the train station
- In-house spa and sulfur pool to soak and unwind
- Clean rooms, big windows, mountain-river views
- About a 15-minute walk to the park, not right at the gates
- 3-star, so rooms and breakfast are plainer than a luxury hotel

No. 9 #9 light on the wallet · friendly stay in the center ★8.9 Hotel Caucasus Borjomi
📍 Central Borjomi, about a 5-minute walk to the center and the entrance to Borjomi Central Park.
Picture a small, quiet place tucked right in the middle of Borjomi — step out the door and you are about 5 minutes on foot from the center and the entrance to Borjomi Central Park. That is Hotel Caucasus Borjomi, a compact guesthouse-hotel that feels more like staying at a friend's place than checking into a hotel. It is calm and clean, with simple, warm rooms, and several of them open onto views of the green mountains and valleys of the Caucasus that make waking up here feel fresh. The thing reviewers keep praising — the reason the score climbed to 9.0 on Booking — is the owner, who welcomes guests warmly, suggests places to go, and arranges cars like a host looking after relatives. Comfortable beds get a lot of mentions too, ideal after a full day of hiking or wandering the town. All of it starts in the low thousands of baht a night, so it suits travelers who want a good location, a friendly feel, and a light price in one go.
- 5-minute walk to the town center and Borjomi Central Park
- Warm, hands-on owner who arranges cars and tips
- Mountain views, comfy beds, and a light price
- Small property — no spa, pool, or lift like a big hotel
- Only a few rooms, so high season fills up fast

No. 10 #10 Budget pick · Central in-town location ★8.4 Borjomi Inn
📍 Central Borjomi, in the Gogias Tsikhe area - about a 5-8 minute walk to the entrance of Borjomi Central Park (the mineral-water park), close to restaurants and shops.
Picture a small place that sits right in the middle of Borjomi, a few minutes on foot from the entrance to Borjomi Central Park - where everyone who comes to town goes to sip the warm mineral water straight from the legendary taps. That is Borjomi Inn, a compact inn in a newly-built building in the Gogias Tsikhe area that leans on clean and simple rather than fancy. Rooms come in warm, plain tones with both air-con and a heater, ready for the hot summers and cold winters of this mountain town. The bed is soft enough, the hot water runs strong, and the owner lays out a homemade breakfast. The real selling point is the location - you are surrounded by Georgian restaurants, cafes and souvenir shops, and within walking distance of the cable-car station and the old amusement park. What reviews agree on most is the owner and staff, who are friendly enough that it feels like staying with relatives. For anyone in Borjomi on a tight budget who still wants a walkable base, this is the best value going. Overall score 8.4/10.
- Dead-central location, walkable to the mineral-water park and restaurants
- Great value for this kind of central spot, from around $40/night
- Friendly, helpful owner and staff
- Small inn with limited facilities - no pool or spa
- Some rooms are small and soundproofing between rooms is weak

No. 11 #11 Best budget value · 2-minute walk to the railway station ★8.9 Guest House Green Rose
📍 Central Borjomi on Pirosmani Street, about a 2-minute walk from Borjomi Park railway station and roughly 800 metres from the mineral springs.
Picture a small, warm guesthouse on Pirosmani Street in central Borjomi, where stepping out the gate puts you about 2 minutes from Borjomi Park railway station and roughly 800 metres from the town's famous mineral springs. That walkable setting is the whole appeal of Guest House Green Rose, an owner-run budget stay that backpackers keep coming back to. The character comes from its lived-in, homey feel: a green garden to sit in, a BBQ area for grilling in the evening, and a sitting terrace for catching the cool mountain-resort air. There's free parking if you drive in, and the rooms are simple but clean. The owner is welcoming and happy to recommend things to do, and the freshly made breakfast gets consistent praise in reviews. You can walk to the town market and into the Borjomi forest from here too. Overall score 8.9/10.
- 2-minute walk to the station, near the mineral springs
- Garden, BBQ area, terrace, plus free parking
- Warm owner, good breakfast, low price
- It's a guesthouse, so rooms and facilities are basic
- No spa, pool or lift like a big hotel

No. 12 #12 Best budget value · warm Georgian-home feel ★9 Erik's Guest House
📍 Central Borjomi, near the public park — an easy walk to Borjomi Central Park (the mineral-water park) and to restaurants in town.
Picture staying at a Georgian family's home that just happens to sit right in central Borjomi — that's the pull of Erik's Guest House, a small budget guesthouse the family runs themselves. Walk through the door and it feels more like visiting relatives than checking into a hotel. What wins people over is the genuinely Georgian welcome: the hosts are warm and easygoing, often inviting guests to sit and share homemade wine they ferment themselves alongside local home-cooked food, which more than a few reviewers remember long after. Rooms are simple but clean, with comfortable beds and prices that are almost absurdly low. The location is the other draw — it's a short walk to the gates of Borjomi Central Park, the town's main mineral-water attraction, and an easy stroll to restaurants in town. There's a small terrace to catch the cool mountain-resort air, and breakfast is made fresh each morning. It suits budget travelers, backpackers, and anyone who wants real local life over polish. Overall score 9.0/10.
- Very cheap — best value for budget travelers
- Warm hosts who share homemade wine and food
- Central spot, an easy walk to the mineral-water park
- It's a guesthouse — simple rooms and basic facilities
- No spa or pool like a bigger hotel

Which one — by trip style
#1 Crowne Plaza Borjomi is a full 5-star stay in the heart of Georgia's most famous mineral-water town — a few steps to the springs park, the largest spa in town, and a deserved #1 on Tripadvisor.
#2 Borjomi Likani is vanishing into valley pine forest and forgetting the town and the clock, a riverside wellness resort built to restore body and mind more than to serve as a sightseeing base.
#3 Golden Tulip Borjomi is sleeping inside a century-old palace built by a Persian ambassador, a few steps from the gate of Georgia's most famous mineral-water park — the best base in town for walking the park, with a classic atmosphere that has a story, plus a spa, jacuzzi and sauna to unwind in after a full day on foot.
#4 Borjomi Palace is a night in a Romanov-era baroque palace on the river, in the middle of Georgia's most famous mineral-water town — indoor and outdoor pools, a medical spa, an in-house winery and a valley-view rooftop, all at a 4-star price reviews call great value.
#5 Villa Likani is about curling up in a small villa among the pines on the Kura River, in the quietest corner of Borjomi — the private, holiday-house feel and the mountain-view balconies are the draw, in exchange for sitting a little out from the mineral-water park.
#6 Borjomi UnderWood is a stay in a clean, comfortable newly built family home, a few minutes' walk from Georgia's famous mineral-water park, with mountain views and a waterfall for a soundtrack — the draws are unbeatable value, a warm host, and a location that walks to everything in town.
