Radisson Blu has opened a 142-bedroom hotel in Armenia, described as "the first and only upscale international hotel brand" in Armenia’s capital city, Yerevan.
Designed by architect Hrant Komitasyan with interiors by Andre Avedian of ARA Design, the hotel combines natural stone and wood textures, with patterns and elements that reflect Armenian culture. The hotel gardens feature views over Mount Ararat.
A 1,000sq m (10,764sq ft) Terra Spa and Fitness centre includes seven treatment rooms, a far-infrared sauna, traditional sauna, hammam and fitness centre. Italian skincare brand Ishi is used in treatments.
Other wellness activities include an open-air tennis court, #BluRoutes running routes, quiet spots in the Summer Garden for yoga, and a 25m (82ft) indoor swimming pool.
“This stunning property complements the city with a blend of great design, innovations and cutting-edge technologies,” said Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group area vice president Michel Stalport.
