Marriott Armenia- Another one of the iconic places in Yerevan that I just had to see. It's the one hotel that everyone knows about and everyone wants to be see in. I must say I dislike the Marriott chain worldwide, but of course I had to go see it here.
It's a bit overrated, and much smaller than I imagined it to be. But it did make me feel like being on vacation when I saw the tour buses outside, with groups of foreign tourists emerging from them.
The hotel has good customer service and looks like any other European hotel- I just think it's reputation precedes it. The Italian restaurant-Cucina- is located on the second floor, with a great view of the Hraparak from the restaurant windows. The restaurant itself is very homey looking, and the waiters even multitask as Italian singers. It's a nice effect. The food was nothing to write home about. Typical Italian with pizza and pasta. A bit overpriced for the quality but all in all it was a nice, relaxing place to have dinner.
