Borjomi Nest

Folded into the forested gorge where the Mtkvari and Borjomula rivers meet, Borjomi Nest sits on Gorgasali Street six blocks from the mineral spring park that made this Georgian spa town famous in the 19th century.

The property's rating of 9.4 across 170 reviews points to attentive hospitality rather than scale — a small guesthouse format where staff direct guests to the free-flowing sulphur springs within the national park, a fifteen-minute walk upriver. Borjomi's famous mineral water is bottled at source nearby and available throughout the property.

The town connects by marshrutka to Akhaltsikhe and the Rabati Castle complex forty minutes south, and to Bakuriani ski resort via the narrow-gauge Kukushka railway, one of the Caucasus's more unusual short-haul rides.
