Haven't been to Astana since that property opened, but the Ritz-Carlton in Almaty would be tough to beat. One of the best RC I've been to. Will be checking out the JW Marriott and 4S in Baku in Sept and will report back.

Perhaps on Bonvoy points ?
Now that we have stayed at a Luxury Collection Hotel , Hotel Imperial in Vienna , & coming away with mixed feelings about this top end Marriott series .
Perhaps if the stay was prior to FS Gresham Palace , it may not have been as “ bad “ . Not Aman for sure . Will post in another thread later .
Perhaps one can be hopeful , also for Hotel Stamba ..

Not sure how I missed this thread, but I was in Georgia and Azerbaijan last October.
Absolutely second SanDiego1K in saying stay at Rooms Kazbegi. Thanks to her help we knew to stay a few nights there, which we very much enjoyed.
Also stayed at Rooms in Tiblisi, which was nice, but Stamba is better (it had recently opened and they were so proud they wanted us to take a tour).
FS Baku blew us away, and the QPR is insanely great.

Intending on Rooms Kazbegi , Stamba , The Alexander , Luxury Collection Hotel , Yerevan and Avan Dzoraget Hotel for a start .
Thanks all for posting .
Has anyone been on a curated trip or any TAs on FT arranged private trips to Armenia & Georgia ?
BLV did you go to Georgia ?
