CNN report from Iranian hotel boutiques
The most striking thing about Iran is its hotels, CNN quoted Thomas Wegman, an insurance expert in Switzerland, as saying. Not the big seven-star hotels, but especially the small boutique hotels run by families while they are quite advanced. The report says that “Not grand seven-star hotels, either, but small, boutique properties run by families -- while being absolutely cutting edge.”
“Joybar Boutique Hotel in Esfahan is a striking seven-room hotel.” The report also says that “Reborn and reclaimed from a 19th-century building of the late Qajar Dynasty, it's now a slick, modern hotel, pairing details such as the original beamed ceilings and exposed brick domes with a sleek white-on-white palette, floating staircases and pared-back midcentury-style chairs. It's a plastic-free property, with organic handmade soaps, vegetarian food and even hand-crafted straw slippers, made in the south of the country.”
