Bakuriani to Become 4-Season Resort

The presentation of the Kokhta-Mitarbi resort project was held at the Rooms Hotel on July 26, introducing the plan to transform Bakuriani’s Kokhta-Mitarbi area into a four-season resort of international standards, with new hotels and an apartment complex to be built within the Bakuriani development project.

In 2015, a memorandum between the Georgian Reconstruction and Development Company (GRDC) and the State was signed, under which the GRDC is to build the hotel and apartment complex, with the State charged with infrastructure development and installing a new ski slope in the area.

World-renowned French companies GEODE and COMPAGNIE DES ALPES are said to have participated in carrying out the area development regulation plan. The hotels and apartment complex at Kokhta-Mitarbi will have a ski-in, ski-out concept, meaning that for the maximum comfort of visitors, the hotels and apartment complexes will be integrated with the ski slopes.

The Kokhta-Mitarbi project consists of several phases. In cooperation with Rooms Hotel, the first stage entails building a new 100-room capacity hotel, expected to open and receive its first visitors in 2018.

The apartment complexes are under construction and will have fully-fitted interiors. Closed parking lots, cafés, restaurants, bars and entertainment zones will also be available. The first stage of the project will be finalized in 2018, its next stages to encompass the Mitarbi area development.

It is believed that in the near future, the Kokhta and Mitarbi areas will become an attractive destination for family vacationers, tourists and sports fans year-round.
