Your hotel in Yerevan

Yerevan will delight travellers with its history, its culture and its iconic sites, such as the city of Mount Ararat, dating back more than 2,000 years. While Republic Square remains the heart of the capital and a must during your stay, Charles Aznavour Square is also worth a stop, as it is a place of pilgrimage for many of his fans. Republic Square offers a thousand and one attractions, from typical cafés to pink buildings and other curiosities to discover on site, not to mention the fountains. Numbering 2,750, the fountains spring up from all sides and pour into five sublime pools. The show takes place in the evening for a truly enchanting moment.
