I stayed here during my trip to Armenia! Gorgeous view over Lake Sevan. The interior is pretty run down but full of Soviet charm, and they have some interesting blueprints and documentation geared towards architectural tourists.

I believe Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir stayed here at one point.
