The one-star Saray Baghi Kashan Hotel is an authentic and affordable option for staying in the heart of the historic fabric of this desert city. This traditional hotel is located in the Sultan Amir Ahmad neighborhood, a 5-minute walk from the Fin Garden and Sultan Amir Ahmad Bath, and is housed in one of the city’s restored historic houses. The adobe building with its central courtyard, turquoise pond, and colorful sashes offers 12 simple but traditional-style rooms, all furnished with wooden beds, hand-stitched headboards, and local bedding.
Hotel services include a traditional Kashani breakfast (tafton bread, local cheese, ardeh and shereh, and herbal tea) in the central courtyard, limited Wi-Fi in the courtyard, and a 24-hour reception. Shared toilets and traditional bathrooms are located in the courtyard, and are cleaned daily with natural detergents. The main advantage of this hotel is the experience of staying in a completely traditional environment and a very reasonable price, which makes it a popular choice for foreign tourists, historical architecture enthusiasts and travelers on a budget.
The local staff, who are fluent in Kashan culture, provide fascinating information about the history of the Sultan Amir Ahmad neighborhood, historical houses and local customs. Although the hotel lacks the slightest modern amenities, the originality of its architecture and its cozy atmosphere are valuable for those looking for a different experience of living in a historical building. Saray Baghi Hotel is more suitable for short stays and is a unique option for those who want to breathe in the heart of Kashan’s living history while staying economically. The proximity to the traditional bazaar, the Maidan Mosque and the Boroujerdi House allows guests to explore on foot.
