This boutique hotel is absolutely amazing to stay at! It comprises of 2 buildings, both of different styles, but both beautiful and unique!

This Art Nouveau treasure has a facade resurrected to its former glory in the “Armenian Belle Epoque” style and inside an appealing blend of old and new world!

It reminds me of a European villa with the courtyard and the well in the middle, its so lovely to just sit around the courtyard with the trees and the running water, a very relaxing place to stay and enjoy

Hotel is a perfect location! Just a 10min walk from the main square along the main old pedestrian way, Abovyan St

These are the 2 buildings of the accommodation across the road from each other


We arrived early, our rooms werent ready but that’s ok we left our bags at the reception

Villa Kars, in the old historic side of Gyumri

My room was in a lovely location! I had my own little courtyard just off the main one and loved the vines raining from the top balcony

Looking out from my courtyard

All the stylish rooms at Villa Kars Hotel include antique-style dΓ©cor and satellite TV channels

Basics included – tea, coffee, water

The room was small but clean and had a nice feel to it, bed was VERY comfortable

Detailed with initials of the Villa which was nice touch ive never seen this before

More on the towels too

Simple bathroom with running water which was strong and hot!

Had cute little kittens and a mother cat just outside my room!

The well in the courtyard

This is the awesome entrance of another room, how cool is this!? πŸ™‚

Unique tiled designs on the stairs to level 2

Beautiful paintings and designs were incorporated into the rooms and their balconies or courtyards

Looking down from ground level to sub level 1 where there was a mosaic like lined patio with what looked like water wells on the side there, interesting design! really European like

The Villa was 2 storey

The beautiful courtyard in the centre of the main building

The owner of the hotel is the man in the middle with the hat on, he is an Italian with an awesome accent! He was always sitting around with the guests and talking to them and making them feel welcome

The place felt secure as there was the staff at reception and security the whole time

Villa Kars Hotel is 10 minute’s drive from Shirak Airport, and it is 5 minute drive from Gyumri Train Station
