From afar, Parsian Esteghlal International Hotel’s big towers look like two gentle giants. This luxurious hotel (formerly known as Royal Tehran Hilton), based on the hillside of Alborz Mountain chain, is one of the biggest if not the best 5star Hotel in Parsian International Hotel Chains and also in I.R.Iran.
Its two towers, the west tower and east tower, built-in 1962 and 1972 respectively, consist of all kinds of amenities such as different types of restaurants, conference halls, gym and swimming pools, etc. the west and east towers of Parsian Esteghlal International Hotel (PEIH) have different kinds of views, both of which are as breathtaking as always. The east tower rooms with their gorgeous view of Tehran’s northern heights and the west tower’s with their exquisite view of Tehran’s beauty are truly worthy of the title of “Tehran’s Top Hotel”. As of now, a third “Southern Tower” is under construction with an unknown finishing date.

Parsian Esteghlal International Hotel’s West Wing (West Tower)
Esteghlal international hotel’s west tower is the older brother of the two towers and there are plans for its innovation. Though older, this aged building has not yet lost its youthful soul and its appearance will not remind you of the days of the past! This is all thanks to “Heydar Ghiai”, the architect of the tower and its “father” in some ways. Heydar Ghiai’s innovation was the use of crushed white marble pieces mixed in with the concrete mix used in building the tower to make it maintain its coloration as the years pass by. This little trick made it possible for the Parsian Esteghlal’s west tower to still look as good as it did, 58 years ago.
Even though both the west and the east towers are joined at the base with a modern lobby drowned in colorful and luxurious decorations and elegant Persian paintings, these old brothers have little in common as the eastern tower is 10 years younger and once innovated before in 1997. This made the gap between the towers even wider as now, the west tower is somehow, representative of the old ways but the eastern tower is more equipped with more services and amenities than its older brother.
