Why We Love This Hotel

Character: Armenian heritage can found in little touches throughout the property, from sculptures in the courtyard that feature Armenian folktale imagery, to pre-medieval Armenian script decorating the walls, quaint arched doorways, handcrafted furniture made from local iron and basalt, and hand-woven Armenian carpets and woolen blankets.

Countryside Hideaway: A charming Armenian castle perched by the river, the Tufenkian Avan Dzoraget is a tranquil countryside retreat where guests can escape from the city to relax and spend time in the picturesque forested hills of the Caucasus Mountains.

Location: Just a four-hour drive from Yerevan, the scenic Debed gorge area offers a slew of outdoor activities from hiking and biking to horseback riding and white water rafting. The historic Haghpat Monastery Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is just a 15-minute drive away.
