Gran Miras Rashidiya Hotel Tehran

Twin · Double · Quadruple

Hasanabad, Fashafuyeh, Khanlagh Village, Tehran

Not in Tehran proper: this one sits at Khanlagh village in Fashafuyeh, well south of the city on the Hasanabad side, so plan on a drive to reach anything in the centre. Five room types sleeping two to four, including a quadruple suite, in open country rather than on a city street.

Poonak, Fallahzadeh St

A five-star in Poonak, in the west of the city, done in the manner of a traditional Persian house: the rooms are named rather than numbered, and they include a duplex shah-neshin, the raised alcove where a household once received guests, and a room called the royal iwan. Every one of the eight sleeps one or two, so this is built for couples rather than families.

Suite Double Royal · Suite Quadruple Presidential

Shahid Chamran Expressway, Yadegar-e Emam Intersection

A five-star tower on the Chamran expressway in the north-west, with duplex units and suites among its rooms, sleeping one to four. Built for business travellers and conference guests: the mountains are close, the bazaar is not.
