Accor to open new Mövenpick hotel in Armenia’s ski resort town

Accor, a world leading hospitality group, has signed an agreement with 4A Capital LLC, a fast-growing property development company, to open in 2026 a new 198-room Mövenpick hotel in Armenia’s popular ski and resort town, Tsaghkadzor.

Mövenpick Resort Tsaghkadzor will offer guests the best of Swiss hospitality, high-end food and beverage concepts, and access to rewards through the global loyalty programme, ALL - Accor Live Limitless.

Founded in 1948, Mövenpick pioneered the Swiss restaurant scene and evolved into a premium international hotel brand with inventive culinary excellence at its heart. Today the hospitality lives on in each of its 125+ hotels around the world, where cuisine serves as the cornerstone for fostering meaningful human connections, igniting creativity, and driving positive change, a statement said.

The destination-inspired hotels allow guests to enjoy meaningful family moments, inspiring business interactions, and moments of indulgence all over the world.

Alexis Delaroff, Chief Operating Officer of Accor New East Europe, said: “Armenia offers rich culture, stunning nature and world-class hospitality, which makes it the perfect destination to expand our Mövenpick brand, as it continues to make impressive strides in the wider region.

“This latest addition reaffirms our commitment to expanding in Armenia and highlighting its full potential to travellers around the world.”

As part of the development project, property investors will be able to buy some of the hotel rooms operated by a professional management company under the renowned known Movenpick brand, which will set a new investment opportunity in the Armenian real estate market.

Davit Sokhakyan, Owner of 4A Capital LLC, said: “The signing of Mövenpick Resort Tsaghkadzor represent a significant milestone for us as we enter the hospitality market, but also a great opportunity to share experiences and synergies with a renowned international hotel partner like Accor.

“The new hotel will feature an elegant design and an excellent range of services to surprise and delight every guest.

“Not only this project will create new jobs in the local community, but will also foster new investments into the Armenian real estate market through a bespoke investment proposition, while also delivering new standards in the Armenian tourism industry.”

Situated at 52 Saralanj street, the hotel will be a seven-minute drive from Tsaghkadzor Ski Resort, which offers 15 pistes and five ski lifts to sports enthusiasts of all levels.

Mövenpick Resort Tsaghkadzor will be located within walking distance from the famous medieval Kecharis Monastery, and only a 40-minute drive away from the capital city of Yerevan.

The hotel will offer spacious and comfortable rooms of various categories, including standard double rooms and suites, elegantly designed and inspired by Mövenpick’s Swiss heritage.

Facilities will include a high-end restaurant, a lobby bar, and rooftop lounge with panoramic mountains views.

Guests will be able to enjoy the Mövenpick's renowned Swiss ice cream, finest chocolate treats and homemade sweets during the daily signature Chocolate Hour in the hotel lobby.

The hotel will also feature a swimming pool, a spa centre offering an array of programmes for body relaxation and mental wellbeing, and a modern fitness centre. For business meetings and special events, Mövenpick Resort Tsaghkadzor will feature several conference facilities.
