The medicinal value of the waters of the source was discovered by chance during the Russian military campaign against Turkey, whose goal was the fortress of Akhaltsikhe. The soldiers, after drinking the water of the spring, miraculously felt much better. Before that, they had stomach problems.
Once you entered the hotel Crown Plaza in Borjomi, you don't wont to leave. Many consider it as only the best in Borjomi, and also the best in Georgia. But, try to pull yourself out of the SPA and soft bed, break away from your favorite book or the best HBO serial. You will be surprised by a cozy resort town with a notable cable car, primeval coniferous forest, a city park, a healing spring, cute souvenir shops, and a home restaurant, which "holds the brand" for decades. It was a wonderful adventure!
