Lanchvali Inn

Twelve Svan defensive towers still stand across Mestia, and Lanchvali Inn keeps three of them within direct view from its balconies over the Mestiachala river gorge. Rooms pair hardwood floors and clothes racks with private entrances, suited to trekkers based here between Ushguli and Chalaadi glacier routes.

The garden terrace serves as the outdoor dining area, oven-cooked meals plated for guests returning off the ridge trails. Upper floors reach by stairs only, no lift.

Mestia's center and airstrip lie a short walk off, making this a practical, quiet base away from the square's guesthouse cluster.
