Southeastern Iran
Tucked into ruggedly contoured hills in a sharp stream valley around 4km southwest of Birjan's southern ring road, this upper-market layered hotel has plenty of fashionable notes. The charming setting is ideal for strolling between the colourful little teahouses nearby, as long as you don't mind being a 20-minute drive from the centre.
There's a coffeeshop and billiard room with three full-size snooker tables. Off-season discounts save 15% or so.
