Samokatus Hotels

Twins Wine House is a family-run wine estate in Kakheti known for its qvevri museum, guided tastings and traditional winemaking. Visitors praise knowledgeable hosts and distinctive wines, though some reviewers report inconsistent service, room cleanliness and restaurant quality.

Ulus G Residences offers sophisticated, fully equipped apartments in Istanbul's upscale Ulus neighborhood, featuring stunning Bosphorus views and home-like amenities. Guests praise the outstanding personalized service led by staff like Neda, though summer air conditioning issues require caution.

Upper Gudauri is the most comfortable and scenic area of the resort. There are fewer entertainment options than in New Gudauri — a few bars and cafés, mostly hotel restaurants. You need to get to the main après-ski area by lifts, but that's not critical. Upper Gudauri is located next to the Soliko run, and many hotels here operate on a ski-in/ski-out basis, offering direct access to the slope. You can start the morning with a cup of coffee on a terrace with mountain views.

Although Ushguli is a very popular tourist destination, most visitors come without overnight stays, so there isn't a wide variety of accommodation. One of the few options for standalone chalets with a cozy interior is Ushguli Cabins, and there are also traditional Svan stone houses such as Old House and Divo Hut.

Set in a converted 19th‑century distillery on the Çengelköy waterfront, Vakko Hotel Sumahan Bosphorus is a 12‑room boutique hotel famed for sweeping Bosphorus views, carefully curated Vakko design and standout dining. Guests consistently praise spotless rooms, bespoke amenities (steam baths in suites) and an excellent breakfast — though a minority report brusque restaurant staff and premium prices.

Vakko Hotel and Residence is a fashion‑brand boutique hotel in upscale Nişantaşı, praised for its elegant design, luxurious bedding and spotless rooms. Guests highlight a superb location for shopping and cafés, attentive concierge and high-quality breakfast, while some warn about street noise and occasional service lapses.
