There are a lot of different hotels and hostels in Armenia and there are those that are required to visit.
They are distinguished from the rest and will be remembered by all guests without exception.
At our request, Ani Chloyan compiled a list of unusual hotels. They are impossible to be overlooked and not to book a room in one of them.
Hotel Mirhav
The boutique hotel is located in the city of Goris, in the south of Armenia. It is convenient to stay here if you are going to see the Tatev Monastery, the megalithic complex Zorats Karer, the Shaki waterfall. In addition for those who take a leisurely trip to Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), the hotel is perfect for 1 night.
The hotel is the hallmark of Goris and in addition to the fact that the hotel is decorated in an authentic style and it is nice to be here. There is another feature that few people know about. If you are lucky enough to live in room 50 then by clicking on the elevator button you will immediately fall into your chambers.

Hotel Arevi
“Arevi” is translated from the Armenian language as “sunny” and here it is really very sunny and cozy. This is because people come here who lead a very active lifestyle: they do yoga and cycling, go hiking and all that you can do in the mountains. This place is often called a place of power, since Arevi is located next to the Smbataberd fortress which dates back to the 5th century.
The fortress was built at an altitude of 2000 meters above sea level, on a cliff and the way how they could build it there is amazing. Only tremendous fortitude can push it. And besides, for the entire existence of the fortress, the most magnificent dynasties of Armenia lived here: Bagratuni, Orbelian and even Roman emperors during the reign of Rome.
Arevi is a hotel, which should be on the obligatory list of visiting a traveler in Armenia.

Alpine Castle Dilijan
Getting here for a moment it seemsdoubtful that you are in Armenia. The complex was built in an unusual style for Armenia, the name says this for itself. Moreover, it is so integrated into the environment that now in its place nothing else can be imagined. The hotel is located in Dilijan — the most popular city in the north-east of Armenia.
Alpine Castel is located far away from civilization in the forest, which makes it possible to break away from it all and completely renewed. Be sure to book at least 2-3 nights to enjoy everything.

Berlin Art Hotel
This unusual hotel is located in the cultural capital of Armenia, Gyumri. After the 1988 earthquake, with the support of the German Red Cross, the Berlin Center for Mother and Child was established in Gyumri. In 1996, part of the hospital was transformed into a guest house in Berlin, then many people came there with a special help mission. After the hotel was renovated and renamed to Berlin Art Hotel, where the hotel and Gallery 25 are now located.
Each room has a mini-gallery where works by contemporary Gyumri artists are presented. With the help of this gallery many artists and masters were able to exhibit and sell their work abroad.

Concept Hotel by COAF
This is not just a hotel but a hotel with a special purpose and to be part of something special you just need to come here and live. A total of 12 rooms that are integrated into the COAF SMART Campus, where the COAF SMART Center is located.
What is COAF?
This is the charity organization Children of Armenia Charitable Fund, which decided to create an educational center in the Lori region for children from nearby villages. Children as well as adults can study here for free after their classes. The subjects are completely different: robotics, IT, a language center, art and dance, music, economics and tourism.

Debed Life
Hotels are the houses of the future! It was this motto that Tatevik was able to realize — the founder of the Debed Life project which announced its discovery not so long ago.
Today travelers around the world increasingly prefer small comfortable houses where there are all the amenities of a high-level hotel but there are not a large number of people. Where they can live and work at the same time, go hiking, do not depend on the opening hours of restaurants in a word be free.
What could be better than living in a comfortable environment away from the hustle and bustle of the city with good wi-fi?

Villa Hotels
3 diamonds 2 of which are located in Yerevan and one in Gyumri. Why do we call them diamonds among the rest because the owners of this chain were able to create a mix of authenticity and luxury. Hotel buildings are old houses. Since the owner of these hotels is Italian, it could not do without Italian taste and a palette of colors. Each hotel is a house of the 18-19th century with its rich history and heritage.
Architectural elements are part of each room, the overall design is based on a warm palette of mixed wood and stone with Armenian carpets, ceramics from the workshop and a fascinating collection of ethnic and antique furniture to complement the interior. The general feeling of staying in a relaxed, comfortable house full of antiques and art!
Villa Hotels are small pieces of Italy in Armenia.
