Sheykh Bahaei Hotel

Esfahan


Set back from busy Sheykh Bahaei St (the entrance is disconcertingly beside a busy parking ramp), this modern hotel has quiet rooms with smart bathrooms and enjoys an excellent central location. The rooftop restaurant and teahouse (summer only) have views towards the mountains.
