The Alexander is the Luxury Collection hotel in the historic centre of Yerevan, at 3/4 Abovyan Street, with 114 guestrooms and suites. It sits within easy reach of the main sights, and the nearest metro station is Republic Square, so the Cascade, the opera district and the old cafes are all close. The hotel is known for its service and its facilities: an indoor pool and a 24-hour fitness centre for guests, and the Alexander Spa by Anne Semonin, which includes a hammam. Dining is a strong point, with Italiano Ristorante on the top floor, Gabriel's Bar and Lounge for all-day dining and cocktails, a patisserie on the street level serving French and Armenian pastries, and a small cigar lounge. It is the sort of place where you can return from a long day trip and recover in the spa before dinner.
Location and getting around: the hotel stands on Abovyan Street in the pedestrian-friendly centre, so most of the main sights are a walk or a short taxi ride away. Republic Square and its metro station are close, the Cascade and the Matenadaran are within a short ride, and taxis are plentiful and inexpensive by international standards. Zvartnots airport is about twelve kilometres away, and the hotel does not run an airport shuttle, so arrange a pre-booked transfer or use a taxi app on arrival.
Rooms and who it suits: the rooms and suites are traditional in style and generous in size, with the quality finishes you expect from the brand. It suits couples, honeymooners, business travellers and anyone who wants a polished base with good dining and a spa after long excursions to Garni, Khor Virap or Sevan. Families can find suites, but the style is more elegant than playful, so it works best with older children.
What is good to know: book a higher floor for city views and a quieter night, because Abovyan Street is lively in the evenings. Rates are the highest in this list and rise with the season, so book early for spring and autumn. Ask about breakfast when you reserve, as inclusions vary by rate, and check spa treatment times in advance because the best slots go quickly.
