Why We Love This Hotel

Location: Sitting in the heart of Yerevan, the hotel is located on the crossroads of Hanrapetutyan and Buzand streets, facing the famous Vernisage, Yerevan’s outdoor craft and souvenir market, and just steps away from other city landmarks.

Architecture: The exterior of the hotel was inspired by both classic European and 20th century Armenian design, a collaboration effort between renowned designers including the world famous architecture and interior designer Clodagh, James Tufenkian and top Armenian architects.

Culinary Heritage: Diners can get a taste of obscure traditional Armenian dishes at the Kharpert Restaurant, where forgotten recipes of past generations are recovered and reimagined.
