After the disastrous earthquake in December of 1988 the outpatient clinic "Berlin Center for Mother and Child" was erected in Gyumri by the association "Berlin Aid for Armenia" under the direction of the German Red Cross, Berlin Branch.
Berlin Art Hotel in Gyumri is a social pilot enterprise of the German Red Cross in Berlin. As a non-profit organization, its only purpose is to contribute to the support and further development of medical care in the outpatient clinic "Berlin Center for Mother and Child". The hotel opened its doors to guests in 1996. SInce that time it is a favourite of international travelers. What stes this hotel apart from other local hotels is the Gallery 25. All 15 rooms feature the art works of local and international artists.
