The hotel Intourist Kazbegi can be found at the foot of the 5,047-meter-high Kazbegi Mountain, the third-highest peak in Georgia and the eighth highest in the Caucasus region. German architects and engineers, who built the hotel in 1960, chose this prime location that would provide an ideal viez of all Kazbegi's main sights.

Both Georgians and foreign tourists preferred the Intourist Kazbegi hotel for decades, which unfortunately stopped operating in the 90s due to the political situation in the country. As of 2021, the hotel was given a new life with its historical name and appearance. Even though the hotel opened during the pandemic and has been operating for just one year, the interest is quite high, which is due to the excellent service and management.

In spite of its simplicity, the exterior of the hotel is very impressive. It seems that every detail has been carefully considered.

Natural materials are present throughout the entire hotel.
