Authors

Abstract

  Nasser al-Din Shah ordered the Qazvin Hotel (which was used in 1297 AH) to be built by Agha Bagher Arbab. Agha Bagher has become the governor of Qazvin under the name of Sa’d al-Saltane. This Hotel was the first modern hotel in Iran which has been modeled from European hotels and has been built to accommodate the ambassadors and envoys. It was a part of Europe Way Project. Qazvin Hotel is of high level of giving services and preparing facilities to the passengers, which is after 130 years comparable to the contemporary hotels. Restoration of this hotel, in addition to rehabilitation of a historical monument in the modern architecture turns in Iran, will play an important role in rehabilitating the Sepah Avenue in Qazvin.
