"ROOF25" Project
ROOF25 is a tourist information center and café situated on the rooftop of Berlin ART Hotel Gyumri, made possible by
the hotel's partnership with the EU4Business "Innovative Tourism and Technology Development for Armenia (ITTD)" project.
Since 2020 and following the pandemic, the region of Shirak has seen a surge in domestic tourism, with many Armenian residents
travelling independently to explore different regions of their country. With its multi-layered history and the fascinating Kumayri
Museum-Reserve (the historic district), Gyumri is a particularly popular destination.
ROOF25's modern facilities and multilingual staff make it an invaluable resource for anyone looking to quickly find a place of interest
or tourist service, relax at the café or work in the coworking area. All information is available in both Armenian and English.
Located in the heart of Gyumri, ROOF25 boasts a minimalist design and sustainable energy practices. It serves as an excellent starting
point for exploring the city, thanks to its use of smart technologies. Visitors can take a virtual tour of the city, including its most
iconic landmarks, using a 3D scan of the historical center, as well as augmented reality (AR) features available through their
smartphones. A mosaic interactive map of Gyumri provides a visual guide to the city's layout and history.
Overall, ROOF25 offers a unique opportunity for visitors to experience Gyumri's history and culture in an innovative, engaging way.
Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a first-time visitor to the city, you'll find something new and exciting at ROOF25.
The project is part of the EU4Business initiative of the European Union. The EU4Business “Innovative Tourism and Technology Development
for Armenia (ITTD)’’ project is co-funded by the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by German Development Cooperation (GIZ).
