Parsian Azadi Hotel in Isfahan
Finding a comfortable and secure base in the vicinity of the most vibrant
tourist scene of a city is probably the top-priority matter to consider for a
traveler on a sightseeing tour. The issue is even more pressing if your
destination is a city as glorious and multifaceted as
Isfahan.
Parsian Azadi
Hotel in Isfahan is one such ideal base especially for sightseeing tourists who
want to be near the major historic highlights of the city. As a branch of the
famous Iranian chain brand hotels,
Parsian Azadi Group, this three-star
accommodation holds 52 rooms and a couple of suites in its three-floor building.
There are plenty of amenities in the rooms and the lobby including LCD TV,
complimentary internet access and adjustable air-conditioner. As with any other
Isfahan hotel, breakfast is included in the room rate and is served in the
stylish
Si-o-se-Pol restaurant on the ground floor. The restaurant takes its
name from
Si-o-se-Pol, a four-centuries old stunning bridge that connects two
parts of Isfahan. And the marvelous thing is that Si-o-se-Pol is just a two
minutes’ walk from the site of the hotel. Other historic spots aren’t far
either. A short taxi ride will take you to the splendors of
Naqsh-e Jahan
Square. This epic structure with its stupendous collection of architectural
masterpieces attests to the city’s mighty status as a cultural tourism hub.
Literally translated to ‘the image of the world’, Naqsh-e Jahan Square is the
largest historic plaza in the world. At the time of its completion in the early
17th century, most of the world was still dominated by the trinity of monarchy,
religion and commerce. The formidable Safavid king, Shah Abbas, appointed some
of the most consummate masters and artisans of his age led by the arch
philosopher and architect Sheikh Bahai to materialize his dream of an ‘exemplar
of the world’ in his capital city. They responded by constructing a massive
square representing the world surrounded by its three pillars, religion (
Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque and
Shah Mosque), commerce (the imperial bazaar) and monarchy
(
Ali Qapu Palace, the seat of the king). Not even this wildly ambitious project
satisfied the king who wanted his capital to be the most glorious city in the
world. The artisans didn’t disappoint the king. Soon every part of the city
sparkled with spectacular landmarks. Besides Naqsh-e Jahan Square and Si-o-se-Pol,
one could mention
Chaharbagh Avenue,
Chehel Sotoun,
Khaju Bridge and
Jameh
Mosque of Isfahan among dozens of cultural
tourist attractions in Isfahan known
for their monumental expanse and artistic finesse. With such a mind-blowing set
of attractions, it is no surprise that
Isfahan tours are always on top of all
tourism charts of Iran. For joining an Isfahan tour the best option is to make
online reservations in advance. Before doing that however, you should decide on
where you intend to start your tour. Although
Iranian tour operators organize
Isfahan tours from most of the major cities in Iran,
Tehran is the most
recommended origin, especially for foreign travelers.
