If you are looking for a different, artistic and authentic accommodation in the center of Kermanshah, Sarem-ud-Dawlah and Vanushk Boutique Hotel could be the right place. This traditional boutique hotel is located in an old mansion and brings to life the feeling of being in the heart of history.
The space is compact; there are only about 10-12 rooms, each with a unique design—simple decor with brick arches, knotted windows, and a small touch of Qajar architecture in the interior. Everything is neatly and artistically put together.
Most rooms have an interior view of the courtyard or garden, comfortable beds, air conditioning for summer and winter, and a clean private bathroom equipped with standard amenities. Everything is designed simply but functionally.
One of the strengths of the boutique hotel is its courtyard; a green space with a small pond, wooden benches and flowers that is refreshing in the mornings and a good place to have tea or read a book. Natural light from the windows keeps the interior bright and inviting.
Breakfast is served on a traditional table in the courtyard. Fresh bread, homemade cheese, traditional jam and Iranian tea. A simple and intimate feeling that combines seeing the history of the city with the taste of the locals.
The owners and staff are very lovely; they have a respectful and friendly attitude and if you have any questions about the city's attractions or local routes, they will patiently guide you. You feel like you are the guest of a true host.
The boutique is located in the old part of the city; with a few steps through the cobblestone alleys you can reach the historical bazaar, the Grand Mosque and the old Tekkei. The nights in the quiet alleys are relatively safe and full of a sense of history.
Finally, if you want to experience more than one night's stay, this place is like a living museum. Something that has both peace and a sense of the authenticity of Iranian architecture. Sarem Al-Dawlah Boutique and Vanushk are an experience that will refresh your soul.
