Sevan Writers' House is a unique and striking piece of brutalist architecture set between Sevanavank Monastery and Lake Sevan. (And with unimpeded views of the lake and hills behind it). I loved it! Yes, the place has fallen into disrepair and the rooms need overhauling - but for location, the views and enjoying a slice of brutalist architecture, it's on its own. It also enjoys quiet as it's not right in the lakeside ***** with the bars and resorts. Sevan Writers' House was designed and created by architects Kochar and Mazmanyan in the 1930s (later sent to Siberia) and remains substantively unchanged from its creation in the Soviet era. (Including the rooms and furnishings...). It's difficult to describe. Suffice it to say that Sevan Writers' House consists of two parts: 1) a large circular breakfast/dining/writing room, with floor to ceiling windows looking out to the sea, set on a concrete pillar; and 2) the hotel part, with all rooms having access to a balcony and unimpeded views of the lake. If you love quirky brutalist architecture and lake views and aren't too fussed about the state of the rooms themselves, you will love this place. If you judge a hotel by the quality of its accommodation (or don't want to walk up multiple flights of stairs), then Sevan Writers House won't be for you. Breakfast is available for 2,000 AMD (eggs, bread, cheese, tomato, cucumber, croissant, tea/coffee). As is dinner - I had a whole barbecued trout, salad, bread and sparkling water for AMD 4,000. Hopefully the attached pictures will give a better flavour than this long review!
