Stays That Slay: Georgia Gay-Welcoming Hotels

Your gaycation in Georgia starts with a perfectly fluffed pillow.

Welcome to Georgia, where the landscapes are straight out of a fantasy novel, hospitality is a lifestyle, and the wine is older than, well…wine (seriously, they invented it). We’ve rounded up three wildly different but equally fabulous stays that’ll make your trip feel like you’re being personally hosted by a Georgian grandma and a boutique hotel designer at the same time. Let’s dive into the gay-welcoming hotels featured on our Georgia: Crossroads of Empires tour.

Qarvasla, Tbilisi

Right in the heart of Tbilisi’s Old Town, Qarvasla is one of those hotels that feels like a little secret. From the outside, it radiates classic Georgian elegance: arched windows, decorative balconies, and that signature blend of Persian-meets-European architecture the city wears so well.

Inside, things get sleek. The design leans brutalist but with minimalist couches, exposed brick, and ornate light fixtures that make you want to sink into a corner with a glass of Saperavi while people-watching (don’t worry, the lobby has perfect angles for that). There’s also a bar, small gym, and a massage suite.

Rooms are cozy and well-appointed, with soft tones, clean lines, and modern features fused with traditional touches like exposed brick. The beds are *chef’s kiss* comfy, and the bathrooms? Floor-to-ceiling tile with texture accents that give castle vibes.

You’re also within walking distance of everything from sulfur baths to hidden wine bars, so if Tbilisi decides to sweep you off your feet (and it will), you’ll be perfectly placed for the ride.

Kvareli Lake Resort, Kvareli

Imagine this: you wake up, draw the curtains, and boom – there’s a glassy lake surrounded by forested hills, far off peaks, birds chirping, and the faint smell of wildflowers in the air. That’s Kvareli Lake Resort.

Set right on the lake and tucked into the wine-soaked region of Kakheti, this resort is on another level. The exterior is clean and modern with big windows and earthy tones that blend into the landscape like it was always meant to be there. It boasts multiple spacious terraces and not one, but TWO, outdoor pools, one of them with an infinity edge. And all of the above come with endless mountain views.

Inside, it’s all about relaxation, but make it chic. The common spaces have a warm, organic feel, with wooden textures, soft lighting, and giant windows that keep you connected to the outdoors even when you’re curled up indoors.

As if two outdoor pools weren’t enough, this 4-star hotel also boasts a massive indoor pool, a roomy sauna, and a massage suite for when a bit of pampering is on the agenda.

Our mountain view rooms are well-appointed, fresh, and minimal in that “spa weekend” kind of way. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch a sunrise that feels like a religious experience. Sip coffee on your balcony, lounge with a good book, or catch up on the latest news – all with a pristine view!

Whether relaxing on the terrace, soaking in one of the many pools, or enjoying a slow dinner at the restaurant, this place is pure serenity. It’s like a reset button in resort form.

Rooms Kazbegi, Stepantsminda

Tucked into the dramatic landscape of Stepantsminda with Mt. Kazbek practically photobombing your entire stay, this place is a high-altitude daydream. From the outside, it’s a sleek, boxy structure that somehow doesn’t compete with the natural surroundings – it just works. Minimalist, industrial, and totally cool without trying too hard.

The lobby feels like a mountain lodge crossed with a design magazine spread. It features patterned armchairs, vintage carpets, and flickering fireplaces. Make your way to the indoor pool for floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the Caucasus like art. There’s even a library, and it’s all giving alpine glam vibes.

Rooms are minimalist but warm, with hardwood floors, reclaimed wood furniture, oversized beds, and cozy textiles that beg for lazy mornings with room service. And speaking of views…you will not shut up about them (and nor should you).

This is the kind of place you come to slow down, breathe deep, and remember why you booked this trip in the first place.

These Georgia gay-welcoming hotels are more than places to sleep – they’re part of the story.

Georgia is full of surprises, but the biggest one might be how quickly these stays begin to feel like home. So if you’re looking for a journey that’s a little off the beaten path, but full of heart, flavor, and views that’ll humble your camera roll… this one slays.
