A Landmark Achievement for the Family-Owned Estate in Georgia’s Majestic Kakheti Wine Region, Now Recognised as One of Only Seven Hotels in Georgia to Receive the MICHELIN Guide’s Prestigious Distinction.
Lopota Lake Resort & Spa, the exceptional 60-hectare countryside resort owned by Georgian sister-duo Ana and Elene Maisuradze and their families, today proudly announces that it has been awarded a MICHELIN Key by the MICHELIN Guide, placing it among an exclusive group of just seven hotels in the country to receive this accolade. This recognition underscores Lopota’s unwavering commitment to excellence in design, hospitality, and guest experience.
The MICHELIN Key distinction – the hospitality equivalent of the Guide’s famed star system – honours properties that deliver the highest standards of architecture and interior design, consistent top-tier service, distinctive personality, and an exceptional sense of place.
At Lopota Lake Resort & Spa, this achievement comes after a period of significant expansion and renovation, working with numerous local design studios including 10:10 Interiors, who refreshed key guest accommodation buildings and a rooftop bar; with David Koiava at Design Avenue Studio, who erected the resorts’ new lifestyle amenities such as the onsite Jazz Club and Aqua Park – ‘Green Aqua’; and with Lado Lomitashvili of Studio Gypsandconcrete, who redesigned the resorts’ reception building and gift shop – all blending modern design with Georgian warmth, developing a signature style for the resort. Combined with the resort’s onsite vineyard and winery, Chateau Buera, wellness offerings, and immersive design-led environment, the MICHELIN Key cements Lopota’s status as a leading luxury destination.
“We’re honoured to receive this recognition from the MICHELIN Guide,” said Ana Maisuradze, co-owner of Lopota Lake Resort & Spa. “It affirms our belief that modern travellers are leaning into the contemporary design and a guest experience rooted in comfort, culture and authentic Georgian hospitality. We see this not just as an accolade – but as a commitment to continue elevating what luxury hospitality means in Georgia and beyond.”
Room rates at Lopota Lake Resort & Spa begin at $330 USD per night for a double occupancy room, inclusive of breakfast. For more information about Lopota Lake Resort & Spa or to book a stay, please visit www.lopotaresort.com.
About LOPOTA LAKE RESORT & SPA
The history of Lopota Lake Resort & Spa arises from a dream of a courageous man, in combination with hard work and the diversity of local nature. In 2008, Goga Maisuradze, the hotel’s founder, discovered one of the forgotten lakes in the Kakheti region. With his far-reaching plans, Maisuradze managed to turn Lopota Lake into an important touristic destination and put it on the world’s touristic map. Lopota Lake Resort & Spa began as a seven-room family hotel, and over time, has become a unique resort with top-tier service, a sprawling property with 311 rooms and suites, an indoor spa and wellness centre, as well as an on-property wine chateau, multiple restaurants, a Jazz Club, Green Aqua, a horse stable and vineyards.
