Ani Resort hotel complex in Hankavan ready to welcome guests June 16, 2011 - 20:12 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - On June 16, Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan attended the opening ceremony of Ani Resort hotel complex in Armenian town of Hankavan. The new building was constructed on the site of Erebuni spa complex demolished back in Soviet times. At present, Ani Resort contains 40 rooms and 12 cottages, with the capacity of 140 people. The reconstruction was launched in 2005, when Harut Atchemyan, the founder and owner of Ani Resort purchased the nearly-demolished building. Ani Resort reconstruction took USD 7 million in investments, creating 2000 new jobs for residents of nearby villages. Mr. Atchemiyan is further planning to open a farm to manufacture agriculture products; construction of a skating-rink and ski tracks will follow.
