Unique Hotel Property with a Riding Centre and More

Ararat Hotel is much more than a hotel. This elegant property in a fully renovated century-old landmark building features cutting-edge modern amenities, a unique style and traditional Armenian hospitality. Ararat Hotel offers exceptionally spacious, beautiful equipped guestrooms and suites and a wide range of facilities and services designed to make every guest’s stay memorable.

The hotel’s “Garden of Eden” sets the tone when guests enter the property. A quiet, peaceful green space, the garden is one of the hotel’s most popular features. Guests also delight in Noy restaurant, which specialises in gourmet local and international dishes, and the Jockey restaurant, which serves fine cuisine in a dining room showcasing Armenian architecture and crafts. The Red Lounge bar-restaurant serves exotic cocktails and delicious canapés.

World-class equestrian centre

The hotel is particularly popular among horse-lovers thanks to its equestrian centre. Riders can explore beautiful countryside and enjoy magnificent views of historic Mount Ararat. Guests can also stroll along the peaceful banks of the Parz Lich River, go for a swim in the hotel’s outdoor pool or the mineral-rich nearby salt lake, pamper themselves in the hotel’s spa or work out in the fitness centre.

Defining what makes Ararat Hotel special, Managing Director Vachik Igityan says, “In addition to our particularly large guestrooms, we offer a sauna, a gym, our own horseback-riding facility and a hippodrome. Wherever our guests go on the property, our attentive staff members are ready to serve them. We even provide complementary drinks.”

To make the most of its equestrian centre, the hotel is considering offering riding tours. Other projects in the works include a new conference hall. Vachik Igityan says, “We welcome guests from many countries, particularly executive travellers who make use of our business centre and meeting rooms. We partner with various tour groups and travel agencies, and we are definitely open to new productive partnerships with companies around the world.”

The hotel places a high priority on listening to customers’ feedback and has a strong presence on social media. Ararat Hotel also promotes Armenia’s considerable tourism attractions and aims to play a leading role in developing the country’s tourism industry. Vachik Igityan says, “Armenia has many national treasures that people should know about. This country is also very beautiful and safe. I would like international travellers to know that Armenia is a country with great traditions, a welcoming population, and the world’s best barbecue!”
