Lonely Planet Review

The Melal's luxurious apartments are a taste of how the wealthy live in Tehran. For your bundles of cash (just imagine the rials!) you get large spaces with two or three bedrooms, all decorated with Persian motifs, such as copper fireplaces adorned with Achaemenid soldiers. Facilities include a terrace swimming pool (men only, summer only), gym, café (yes, with real coffee) and two classy restaurants. All rooms have ADSL internet.

Melal Group has three other apartment hotels in Tehran, all of a similar standard if slightly different in style; see them on the website.
