Raman Hotel Isfahan

Hakim St, Alley 9

A restored traditional house in Isfahan's old quarter, a few streets from the Hakim Mosque, with eleven rooms around a courtyard. The plain doubles are the cheapest way to sleep inside a house like this; the shah-neshin, the raised alcove where the household once received guests, is the most expensive room in the building. Two of the dearer rooms are the sardab and the howz-khaneh on the cool lower floor, the rooms a Persian house used to retreat into in July, and both are windowless. Seven rooms sleep two, four sleep three.

Single · Suite One-bedroom Double Royal

Traditional lodge in a rare Safavid-era house in the Tabriziha quarter, once home to an Armenian priest from Julfa, with 12 rooms and suites in a single-storey courtyard layout.
