Straddling the line between Asia and Europe, the Caucasus country of Georgia is still unknown to many Western travelers. Two luxury hotels to keep on your radar are Rooms Hotels Tbilisi and Rooms Hotels Kazbegi, both part of Adjara Group Hospitality. Housed in an old publishing building in the heart of Tbilisi’s Vera neighborhood, Rooms Hotels Tbilisi is a gathering place for the city’s creative residents. Dining options include Lolita and The Kitchen, a New York-style restaurant where farm-to-table defines the menu with traditional Georgian dishes and New American classics. The Bar and Lounge features top local mixologists handcrafting cocktails and gourmet bar fare. In the Garden Bar, beautiful green foliage and potted herbs lend a personal touch to original cocktails blended with botanicals — to be enjoyed while the property’s two pet rabbits dart among the greenery.

Throughout the property in the 1,400-year-old city, a sumptuous, retro-chic vibe includes cool décor touches such as plush sofas, wood floors, vintage light fittings, antique rugs, elegant meeting spaces and a fully stocked library. Industrial chic furnishings in the 126 rooms and suites feature soaring ceilings and warehouse-style windows.

Also for your address book, Rooms Hotels Kazbegi is located in a restored Brutalist building and once-Soviet alpine resort in a north Georgia valley at the feet of the Caucasus Mountains. Rich woods and leathers are part of the design palette by Adjara Arch, who worked closely with architects to restore the property. Enjoy a seat on the wide terrace where the mountains are almost at your fingertips, or tuck into the cozy Bar and Lounge, where the cigar menu includes a carefully curated selection of hand-rolled cigars from outstanding vintages. In the expansive wellness center with mountain views visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows, brick walls and aged lanterns lend a rustic ambience to the heated pool, sauna and spa treatment room. Prefer to be outside? Get a taste of the dramatic surroundings with a private helicopter tour above the snow-topped peaks, or stay close to terra firma with a guided hike to the forested base of Elia Mountain or a tour of the local village of Sno. A casino and meeting space make the hotel perfect for corporate escapes, and the range of rooms includes twin, double and signature rooms.
