Shiraz Hotel

Set beside the Quran Gate, Shiraz Grand Hotel rises above one of the city's known landmarks, close to Shiraz's main sights. Rooms carry LED televisions, kettles for tea and coffee, and free Wi-Fi. It is a straightforward, well-equipped stay. Guests can choose a modern suite, a twin, or a double. The hotel runs a coffee shop off the main lobby on the sixth floor, next to a rotating restaurant, where a pianist plays in the evenings. A separate rooftop coffee shop and restaurant sit higher up, with a terrace looking out over the city and the mountains beyond. Dining spreads across several rooms: one restaurant serves kebabs, stews, and regional specialities alongside soups and desserts, with room for 300 to 450 guests at once and a daily breakfast buffet. Another kitchen turns out pizza, pasta, and steaks; a third leans toward grilled meats and fast food, again with a panoramic outlook over the rooftops. Downstairs, a fitness wing holds a sauna, a Jacuzzi, a pool, and a gym. You can hear live traditional music some evenings from the main restaurant. The hotel positions itself as a base for both business and leisure travellers, with rooms designed for quiet after a full day out in the city.
