Hotels in Georgia will be rated with stars from May

Hotels in Georgia will be classified with stars by Hotelstars Union from next month, founder of Federation of Hotels, Restaurants and Cafes Keti Meladze told a local media outlet.

For this reason a group from Hotelstars Union will arrive in Georgia in May and classify Georgian hotels in accordance with the European standards.

The classification will not be mandatory and the hotels will be enabled to undergo the procedure voluntarily. However, hotels which intend to obtain the assessment of the Hotelstars Union, should be the members of the Federation of Hotels, Restaurants and Cafes and meet certain criteria.

Meladze said that classification of the hotels will enhance the recognisability and reputation of Georgian hotels.

The European rating will be a step forward for our hotels for development of a sustainable tourism… When it will be noted on the booking.com that the hotel is classified by the Hotelstars Union, the interest in this hotel will significantly be increased”, Meladze said.

The Hotelstars Union was created in 2009. Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Netherlands, Slovenia, Sweden and Switzerland are members of the star family.
