About Us

Ani Plaza Hotel opened its doors in 1970, beginning a hospitality story that has continued through generations of guests and a changing Yerevan. Originally operating as the Ani Hotel, it was part of the Intourist system from 1970 to 1991 and later reopened as Ani Plaza Hotel in 1999.

From its earliest years, the hotel welcomed visitors from Armenia and abroad and became a setting not only for stays, but also for meetings, cultural encounters and public events. Over the decades, its rooms and halls have hosted international guests, artists, musicians, athletes and participants in major events held in Yerevan.

Today, Ani Plaza Hotel continues that tradition, combining its long-standing place in Yerevan's hospitality story with the needs of today's traveller.

Conceived during a period of major urban development in Yerevan, the Ani Hotel was designed by architects Eduard Safaryan, Feniks Darbinyan and Felix Hakobyan. The building became one of the city’s prominent new structures of its era, and in 1970 the hotel project received recognition from the USSR Architects’ Union.

The name Ani refers to the historic Armenian city that once served as the capital of the Bagratid Kingdom. From the hotel’s earliest years, that connection has formed part of its identity and is also reflected in its emblem.
