IRAN: THE EMBARGOED HOTEL
Who said that Iran was only about the sanctions and what we see in the media? What about sustainable development and fair-trade? or hotels and tourism?
A bunch of eccentric individuals and a luxury fair trade hotel, two hours from Tehran, inspired by persian miniatures where all materials, (from the bed linen to the curtains) are only made locally despite the challenge to fill those 60 rooms in times of financial crisis. This is a project that defies these austere times and the lack of tourism. See how the Ameriha house project brings hope and discover whether this 1001 night concept hotel will make it through the tough times of sanctions, or forever remain a tale whispered from one ear to the other in the desert of Kashan.
