Slope access, mountain views, and a proper indoor pool at altitude.
A place to stay in Gudauri
Gudauri Lodge is a 5-star hotel in Gudauri with direct ski-in, ski-out access to the slopes. The property runs a full ski operation on site — rental equipment, ski storage, and a ski school (additional charge) — making it a practical base for a winter trip without needing to haul gear across town. Beyond the mountain, the hotel has an indoor swimming pool, a spa and wellness center, a fitness center, a restaurant, and a bar. Rooms start from USD 261 per night, and free parking is available. The property holds a 4.6/5 Google rating across 1,663 reviews.
Who this stay suits
A well-equipped ski hotel with slope-side access, a solid wellness setup, and rooms ranging from compact doubles to a 110 m² duplex suite.
Best for
- Skiers wanting slope-side convenience
- Couples or groups after suite-level space
- Guests who want a pool and spa after a day on the mountain
- Pet owners — the hotel is pet friendly
Less suited to
- Travellers on a tight budget
- Those expecting warm-weather outdoor activities
Ski-in, ski-out access
The hotel sits directly on the mountain with ski-in, ski-out access. On-site ski rental and storage mean you can leave equipment at the hotel. A ski school runs from the property, at an additional charge.
Indoor pool and wellness
The indoor swimming pool and spa and wellness center sit inside the building, so they work year-round regardless of conditions outside. The fitness center is also on site for guests who want to keep a training routine going.
Suites with mountain views
The 45 m² Suite with Mountain View and the 110 m² Duplex Suite are the standout room types. The duplex spans two bedrooms, a living room with sofa bed, and a balcony — notable space for a mountain hotel at this altitude.
Terrace and outdoor areas
The hotel has a terrace, sun deck, and outdoor furniture. In the right conditions, the terrace faces the mountain terrain that defines Gudauri's landscape.
Restaurant, bar, and evening entertainment
The on-site restaurant serves what the hotel describes as a wonderful breakfast. The bar is open to guests, and evening entertainment runs in-house, which removes the need to venture out after a full day on the slopes.

“They made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, and their attention to detail really stood out. We'd happily stay here again because of the people as much as the hotel itself.”
“The hot pool is the hero of the property. Always clean, always at the right temperature, always looked after.”
“On our first day there was a huge party with 100+ guests and they privately booked the restaurant so we weren't able to eat there. The spa was very noisy so we couldn't relax.”
“Honestly, I would come back to Georgia just because of this hotel. Next time, I'll definitely stay here for many more days. Everything was simply perfect.”
“The food and wine were absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectations. Every meal felt like a treat.”
