TEHRAN – Once a traditional merchant edifice, the Manouchehri House is now a lavishly renovated boutique hotel in the oasis city of Kashan, sprawled on the margins of the central Iranian desert.

Fostered by a desire for design and yet a profound respect for its history, this private residence has been brought back to life with the latest in modern amenities and highest standards of historic preservation.

The Manouchehri House offers eight private guest rooms overlooking a relatively vast courtyard that features a reflecting pool flanked by gardens. Guests are welcomed with a refreshment in the lobby outfitted with traditional Iranian furnishings and showcasing an art gallery in the atrium above.

Kashan is internationally famous as a meeting point of traditional Persian architecture and craftsmanship.

The people in charge of the house say that their consistent dedication and passionate teamwork has made it an exemplar of success in restoration of historic houses.

In what follows, some comments posted to tripadvisor.com by visitors to the house has been given:

“Everything is just right”

It’s worth stopping in Kashan just to stay at the Manouchehri House. I stayed here with some friends for two nights in July. Everything about this place is just right.

If you are travelling the road from Tehran to Isfahan, stop in Kashan, stay the night in the Manouchehri House, take a tour to the Fin Gardens and the bazaar. You’ll thank me for the advice. (Paraig from Dublin, Ireland, stayed July 2016)

“Nice traditional hotel, helpful tour guide”

I contacted this hotel before our arrival to Iran and they offered us the airport pickup which was a relief because I was kind of nervous for that…

When we got to the hotel we were received nicely by the staff. The hotel was really nice with a peaceful environment and a nice traditional garden in the middle... (Gracea20 from Australia, stayed April 2016)
