Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Cheltikov

A spacious boutique hotel with plenty of character, Cheltikov is located in a restored 19th-century Russian mansion that oozes historical charm. The grand building has previously served as an opera house, day care, military pharmacy warehouse, and a maternity hospital, before opening as a hotel. Its period furnishings bring a touch of class that has been missing from Kars's other accommodation options.
