Nova Hotel Yerevan

Walking to Republic Square takes three minutes from the front door, past art galleries and museum entrances that make this stretch of Yerevan a compact cultural loop. Nova Hotel Yerevan sits on Sayat-Nova Avenue, close enough to the singing fountains to hear them at night. Rooms are simply fitted: Wi-Fi, a stocked minibar, a work desk with tea and coffee kit, individual climate control and a full bathroom set. It is a compact stay, built for guests who want to drop bags and walk out the door. Breakfast runs on the ground floor at Café Nova, a continental buffet of fresh breads, hot dishes, cold snacks, seasonal fruit and Armenian jams, with cooks making omelettes to order. Coffee comes as espresso, Americano, latte or cappuccino. A business corner offers a desktop computer, printer, scanner and phone line for guests working between meetings. Guests can also arrange a spa treatment or a free transfer, and staff will bring breakfast to the room on request. The hotel's location puts restaurants, clubs and the city's main square within easy reach on foot, useful for anyone short on time in Yerevan. Service is attentive without fuss, and the pace suits both business trips and short cultural visits alike.
