Sanasaryan Han

The place

An 1895 neo-classical building, its sandstone facade left standing as it was. Behind it, Sanasaryan Han opened in early 2024 — a five-star hotel where East and West meet in contemporary form. The 63 rooms carry elegant furnishings and Turkish motifs, and each bathroom takes its cue from the hammam.

The kitchen is the quiet centerpiece. Sini, the signature restaurant, runs from a moody dining room out to a garden terrace, its contemporary regional dishes built on unexpected produce. Later, The Library Bar offers an intimate room for cocktails with an old-world lean.
