Gyumri is a city where time slows down.

Every stone, window, and courtyard carries a story shaped by memory, humor, and resilience.

Known for its craftsmen, artists, and distinctive architecture, Gyumri has preserved the spirit of a 19th-century Armenian city. Built from the region’s iconic black tuff stone, its streets, balconies, and courtyards create a cityscape unlike anywhere else.

But Gyumri is not only about history.

It remains one of Armenia’s most creative and artistic cities, where contemporary art, theater, music, and storytelling continue to shape everyday life. The spirit of the city is warm, humorous, and deeply human.

Major’s House Gyumri was created within this atmosphere — not simply as a place to stay, but as a home for those who want to feel the living spirit of the city, rather than just visit it.
