Isfahan traditional hotel<\/strong>, the benevolent \u201cHalf of The World\u201d city, embodies the soul, the much-praised culture and history, and the luxury of renowned families inheriting it for generations. Witnessing the hotel from the outside, it may seem it doesn\u2019t have much to offer; however, as soon as the archaic ornamented door opens up on its axle, the real beauty of the hotel splashes out causing any enterer to freeze on their heels and have a moment on spasm. <\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

The admiration for the hotel has been flying\naround as far as Iran\u2019s Safavid history goes, same as every mud-brick and glass\nput together with aesthetic touches, which created this incredible structure.\nSaying no to the austerities of time and getting some love from Iran\u2019s Ministry\nof Cultural Heritage, Tourism, and Handicraft Organization in the recent years,\nto everyone\u2019s consent, has saved us this marvel to bask in its glory and also\nto rest our tarnished bodies in its great rooms. It\u2019s a sigh of relief that, in\nour digitalized age where we\u2019re getting ripped apart from our real roots, such\na miracle still stands. Isfahan traditional hotel helps everyone, any people of\nany race, to touch their inner ancestral origins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To truly appreciate the artistic magnitude and\ncultural importance of the hotel\/house, a well-planned trip to Isfahan at the\nright time is a must. This way, the story of being terrified by the beauty of\nthe complex never gets old in friendly gatherings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Isfahan traditional hotel not only\nattracts hordes of tourists hungry for an irreplaceable architectural eye-candy\nbut, also, with a bit of renovation and change to the application, everyone can\nbook a room and revel in a history-rich stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finding Isfahan traditional hotel<\/a> is like finding a needle in a haystack without the right tools or information since many of classic houses in the city share the same exterior view. Despite that, if pinpointed on Google map, getting to it will be a piece of cake. For those who find working with a location app challenging, they can ask a local cab pro-arrival to take them to the hotel. Keep in mind that street-cabs usually cost a lot more than new Uber-like commute services (called Snapp in Iran); and, they\u2019re going to ask for some very steep tips if they pick up a tourist. So, it\u2019s best to download the Snapp app or ask somebody to order a ride or get directions from a local.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isfahan traditional hotel is ideally situated at the nexus of Naqsh-e Jahan Square and Hakim Street, with countless priceless historical sites neighboring it. Also, a few-minute stroll will get the guests to the nearby traditional bazaar, which is a handy blink-on-an-eye shopping stop for life-long Isfahani souvenirs. Being tucked away in the middle of the old district has other perks too. The hotel is off away from all the hustle and bustle of modern Isfahan, which boosts the gratifying experience of walking in the historical texture and visiting the much-enticing sites. In a way, it seems like the foreseeing fathers built the hotel where it is so it would stay safe from the distractions of the upcoming new-century developments yet to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artistic Architecture<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pulling up to the 3-star hotel, the hotel\u2019s\ncubical shape with renovated lofty thick mud-walls covering it from all sides\nand the middle part having no roof (the courtyard) catches the eye. These outer\nwalls are probably the guiding lanterns to the hotel since they being\nwindowless makes the marvel a little bit easier to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As travelers enter into the edifice, they receive an extremely warm Persian-style welcoming at the reservation desk \u2013 a social etiquette tangible in the atmosphere inside the main building as well. After the small ceremony at the entrance putting a smile on visitors\u2019 faces, the first step into the hotel quickly replaces the grin with a gesture of awe as heads rise up to gaze the architecture of the building, top to the bottom. The courtyard and adjoining rooms are symmetrically designed with small traditional sitting benches furnished with pillows in each direction, luring the entrees to sit down and take in the old Persian culture. At the center of the yard, the classical fountain pouring water eye-pleasingly into the small pool (Hozche) makes the invitation much harder to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amenities & Facilities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In terms of what amenities to be found in Isfahan traditional hotel, it\u2019s safe to say the antique hotel has seen pretty impressive improvements over the last couple of years and now is far more capable of handling guests from different countries with different tastes and expectations. It\u2019s safe to say the amenities seem enough at the moment to satisfy the guests\u2019 desires, but they still need some tweaks here and there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wi-Fi We start things with the Wi-Fi internet access from all rooms and the courtyard, which pretty much is the best feature of it yet. Due to inconsistency of internet connections in Iran \u2013 a direct result of lacking infrastructure in smaller metropolitans like Isfahan and the occasional conflicts between the government and the people \u2013 a speedy and stable internet access is a blessing factor to have. We recommend getting your own sim-card data services from one of the Iranian private network providers if you rely heavily on a good internet connection; otherwise, the hotel\u2019s Wi-Fi passes for some basic online trotting and social media notification-bar erasing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breakfast<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nothing can be more delightful and spirit-lifting in a trip than waking up to a long table of tasty local food, and bread with few plates of complimentary homely western morning snacks. Fortunately, one of the strongest points about Isfahan\u2019s traditional hotel is its much-appreciated self-service breakfast table. The mouth-watering meal can do the trick for an energetic full-day digging-up of sites spread all over the half-of-the-world city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air-Conditioning<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To cite some other appealing amenities\/facilities, we can talk about the air-conditioning system rigged throughout the hotel. As many may already be familiar with the dry semi-arid climate of the area, they know it\u2019s ill-advised to take it as a joke. Isfahan traditional hotel has been equipped with some of the finest and most reliable ac systems available. Still, even that proves to be a deficit counterplay to the scorching heat, especially when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although most of the rooms on the first or second floor don\u2019t face any overheating problem in summer \u2013 thanks to the magnificent ac \u2013 the top floor rooms tend to get a bit torrid from time to time (depending on the level of heat). To avoid any discomfort during the stay, we recommend tourists booking a suite or room on the lower floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rooms<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 16 rooms available in\nIsfahan traditional hotel can be sorted out into six groups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Double room with private bathroom<\/li>
  2. Twin room with private bathroom<\/li>
  3. Triple room with private bathroom<\/li>
  4. Quadruple room with private bathroom\n(Shahneshin; King\u2019s quarter) <\/li>
  5. Quintuple room with private bathroom<\/li>
  6. Quadruple suite with shared bathroom<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    As these rooms can be\nbooked for tourists in groups that differ, the quality of rooms stays at the\nsame high standard for the occupants regardless of their numbers. They\nrepresent the best trades of both Safavid & Qajar masterwork art in the way\nthey are designed. Even after the renovations, the old vibe entombed in the\nrooms\u2019 artistic stucco and plaster crust still lives and transforms them from\nan ordinary quarter to a hypnotizing chamber hard to forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Isfahan<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Aside from great\nair-conditioning in almost all of the rooms, the units at this oasis receive\ndaily, and careful cleanings from the crew and are kept at the best form \u2013 when\nit comes to cleaning, nothing slip passes under the crew\u2019s nose. This positive\nchange generated positive reviews for the hotel since a few years ago when the\noverall quality of the rooms was somewhat questionable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The spacious Persian-style rooms give the visitors the clam they crave after a long day of doing touristy things in the city. Some of the upper-floor rooms provide an eye-catching view to the main courtyard through glass-stained human-sized doors, which incorporates into some lucky guests having their own very traditionally-decorated \u201cbalcony.\u201d  In contrast to one-after-the-other traditional delights vivifying the rooms, quite a lot of modern facilities and devices are at disposal to take comfort to the world-class level. In each room, the latest means to a wonderful stay such as telephone, refrigerator, CD\/DVD player, Western toilet and its complimentary toilettes, satellite TV, closet, hanger, safety deposit box, tea-maker (cause we Persians love our tea), and conventional furniture are available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Kids & Services<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Isfahan traditional hotel excuses f children\nunder the age of six from any expanses. However, this only applies as long as\nthe children don\u2019t use any of the hotel\u2019s services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As for the services, the phenomena begins from\nthe front door. The reception gives tourists all the necessary information on\nthe daily walking tours, transportation tricks, and best sightseeing paths to\nsave time and energy. Additionally, to hotel updates its newsstand with the\ndaily papers and has a library and a game room in case of drastic situations\n(weather, pandemic) for book-lover and gamers. Also, there\u2019s no need to get\nworried about dirty clothes or basic financial business since a 24\/7 laundry\nservice and a currency exchange shop work inside the hotel. In the case of\nATMs, a machine can be found nearby.\n\nFor the epicures, a traditional Persian restaurant, a cozy caf\u00e9, and\nanother buffet-style restaurant work around the clock to satisfy the guests.\nAnd what does a marvelous finishing to a heavy Persian dish with rice better\nthan a relaxing kick back in the traditional tea-house in the hotel with a\nhookah\u2019s hose in your hand?\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
