Aryo Barzan Hotel

Shiraz

This centrally located hotel is one of the best 4 stars in the city. Strictly speaking an Iranian 4 star is more like a 3 star in the UK, but the rooms are moderately sized, tastefully done and clean, and the bathrooms are ensuite.

The restaurant does pretty reasonable food and the reception are a helpful lot, keen to impress. In terms of location, just walk out of the hotel, turn left, then left again and you're in the centre of town.
