We planned to have a trip to Isfahan and this was a good opportunity to meet Local Guides of this great city. So I asked some good Local Guides of Isfahan to help with selecting a location for meetup and by the help of Mr. @Hamidrezababi and Mr. @Alagheband, the Abbasi Hotel selected.
This is a really special place because it is a historic hotel with many unique artworks so not all people are allowed to visit without a reservation.
Isfahan is the city of arts and culture and in each location, you can see signs of this telling. Let’s check meetup details.
We started this meetup at 5 PM and gathering together after some minutes then we sit in the green yard of Abbasi Hotel and talked with each other about things like mapping, photography and the tourism aspects of the Isfahan.
Introducing some new features of Google Maps was another thing that we talked about and was enjoyable for fellow local guides.
Eating was another thing planned in this meetup by the sponsorship of Abbasi Hotel Traditional Cafe so a man wearing traditional clothing served the Aash for us. Aash is a kind of thick soup made with vegetables and kind of noodles. After that drinking Tea was another part of the meeting, just imagine how much is enjoyable sitting in a Persian green garden and drinking a traditional tea.
After eating the Aash we were guided to have a local mini-tour in the Abbasi Hotel complex.
And you can’t believe how much was great this Hotel. It is full of original artworks from great artists of Iran from the past to now. All parts such as the walls, windows, desks, and chairs, stairs, dishes and carpets are historical those attract many tourists from all over the world to stay at this hotel. Each part was wonderful and admirable and this feeling was clearly visible in our faces.
Our tour leader described the hotel’s history and beyond which was really great to learn about it. Our tour was about an hour and not contains all parts but it takes some hours to visit all parts of the hotel because it is very big and in fact, it is a large Museum you can stay at it. You can say real “Night at the Museum” is here ?
I hope all of you read this recap have this opportunity to come to Iran and stay in this amazing hotel while visiting Isfahan.
