Niayesh Boutique Hotel

Top choice in Shiraz


One of only a handful of traditional hotels in Shiraz, this delightful, sociable hotel in the heart of the old quarter is a firm backpacker favourite. The most characterful rooms are arranged around the central courtyard of the original house; others are housed in a purpose-built annexe at the front of the building.

A tranquil restaurant and coffee shop is set in the courtyard and serves tea, espresso coffee and a limited menu of home-style dishes.

The hotel can be difficult to find; head to the Imamzadeh Bibi Dokhtar and then follow the signs. The hotel is owned by Pars Tourist Agency.
