Lopota Lake Resort & Spa – a renovation rooted in place

The redesign of the Lopota Lake Resort & Spa guestrooms follows an aesthetically refined evolution that brings the natural beauty and rich culture of Kakheti indoors, reaffirming the resort’s commitment to pairing immersive travel experiences with thoughtful design rooted in the spirit of the region.

The rooms are thoughtfully grounded in two distinct yet complementary colour palettes, each a tribute to the region’s landscape and cultural heritage. The first, an earthy ash clay, is reminiscent of the traditional ‘qvevri’ clay vessel used for centuries in Georgian winemaking. This warm, grounding orange hue serves as a subtle nod to the country’s ancient oenological roots, with qvevris still in use today at Lopota’s own winery, Château Buera. The second palette, a soft pistachio green, mirrors the property’s lush, abundant grounds, bringing the outdoors in through a palette of serene, organic tones. Each newly renovated room opens onto a private balcony with serene views of Lopota’s lush grounds and the Caucasus Mountains, seamlessly bridging the interior design with the surrounding natural beauty.

The rooms blend refined minimalism with distinctly Georgian character, balancing clean architectural lines with thoughtfully chosen artisanal details. Textural felt wall pieces by Georgian artist Mariana Chkonia introduce a tactile, organic warmth, while honey-toned wooden floors are softened with handwoven jute rugs underfoot. A curated interplay of local and international craftsmanship defines the spaces: custom-made furnishings by Georgian woodworking atelier WOOD Crafters are paired with design icons such as Gervasoni’s Gray Bergère armchair – a timeless piece emblematic of the Italian brand’s 140-year heritage of understated elegance.  Spacious bathrooms are fitted with either an orientally inspired checkered-black-and-white tile pattern, or a soothing mustard overhead with white metro-tiles and wooden features. The result is a calm, grounded environment that feels both contemporary and deeply rooted in place.

Once a modest seven-room family retreat envisioned by founder Goga Maisuradze, Lopota has grown into a destination resort with over 300 rooms and a comprehensive range of culinary, wellness, and leisure offerings. Throughout its evolution, the resort has continued to embrace authentic charm and handcrafted hospitality, exemplified in its new interiors that reflect refined simplicity using local natural materials such as clay, wood, linen and felt, to create a soft, organic atmosphere that connects guests to the surrounding landscape.

“While Lopota has grown in size with over 300 rooms, multiple restaurants, and a wide array of wellness and leisure activities, we are still committed to ensuring Lopota preserves its signature family-style hospitality and unmistakable soul,” commented Ana Maisuradze, who co-owns the resort alongside her sister Elene. “Lopota Lake Resort & Spa continues to evolve while staying true to its roots and my fathers vision, offering meaningful, memorable stays that celebrate Georgian design, culture, and warmth – now with even greater attention to aesthetic detail and sensory comfort.”

This renovation is the latest development as part of a larger, ongoing transformation across the property to enhance the guest experience while protecting the resort’s unique identity, reinforcing the property’s commitment not only to elevated design and comfort but also to preserving the authentic heritage and environmental integrity of the Kakheti region.
