[2025 Isfahan Hotels] Travel Guide for Abbasi Hotel (Updated Aug)

A line from the French poet Renier truly reflects the beauty of Isfahan. This is a city built in the desert, but it is rich in vegetation and full of life. Here are the deposits and gifts from history, allowing people to trace the footsteps of the ancient Persians and look back at the wonderful past. Isfahan, a city you will fall in love with once you come.

The Abbasi Hotel is one of Iran's most famous historical hotels. It was converted from a 17th-century Safavid-era caravanserai. The interior decoration is full of Persian art elements, like a palace, and every place is full of gorgeousness and exquisiteness. The all-wood carved spiral staircase, the brilliant lighting, and the meticulously carved murals all exude a strong Persian style. Dining here is like being in an art museum.

I went to Ashreshteh in the Abassi Hotel. You can use the restaurant at the Abassi Hotel even if you are not a guest. The restaurant is located in the garden inside the hotel, and you can eat in a very nice atmosphere. I went there for dinner, and it was lit up and had a very romantic atmosphere. It is open from 10:30 to 23:00, and I recommend Ashreshteh, a noodle soup made from traditional Iranian herbs and beans. For dessert, I had Farudeh, an Iranian-style shaved ice. Although it is a luxurious hotel, the restaurant is reasonable, with Ashreshteh for about 400 yen. Farudeh can be eaten for about 150 yen. #0yentravel2025February#Isfahan#Ashreshteh

2 | What is it like to stay in the Iranian State Guesthouse? | What is it like to stay in the Iranian State Guesthouse? In the city center of Isfahan, Iran, there is a palace hotel built in 1723 with a history of over 400 years, named Abbasi hotel, also known as the State Guesthouse. At the prominent position of the hotel garden entrance, there is a striking sign "welcome to the most beautiful hotel in the world". 🏨The hotel is full of antique relics, even a staircase, a corner, all retain the brilliant history of ancient Persia, witnessing the brilliant achievements of an ancient Persian civilization empire; 🌸The hotel's garden is my favorite place, full of atmosphere, even after 400 years, it is still a place for various parties and dinners, sitting in the garden at night, enjoying the breeze, listening to music, everything feels really great, I like it very much; 🥗The hotel's breakfast, not to mention the best one in Iran for more than ten days, can be said to be among the best in the luxury hotels I have stayed in abroad, the environment is full score💯, the tableware is exquisite, the variety is the most diverse, the breakfast here is suitable for sitting down and enjoying slowly, be sure to reserve enough time here, it is very worth it; 🎨There are many places to go shopping around the hotel, next to it is a pedestrian street, and a mosque, but my favorite place is the miniature painting (miniature painting, a traditional craft of ancient Persia, is a kind of finely painted small painting, very demanding) across the street, we can say that we lingered in this shop, and gained a lot. 📍The location of the hotel is really good, it is very convenient to walk or drive to the main attractions (Thirteen-hole Bridge, Imam Square, Imam Mosque, Forty-column Palace, etc.). 🥹Because it is an antique hotel, it has not been renovated, the room is relatively old, after all, it has been some years, need to be mentally prepared, but we stayed for two nights, the second night has quickly adapted haha😆 Every time I return to the hotel, I am too tired to take many good photos, only took a quick photo in the garden in the early morning, a little regret! Anyway, I left very good memories in Isfahan, it is a very comfortable and petty bourgeois city, also very suitable for citywalk, even if not staying here, having afternoon tea, eating dinner, or having a drink at night, it is very worth it!
