Sorry to dissapoint but the Dariush Grand Hotel is not considered a '7 star' But the Flower of the East Hotel and the Kish Lotus hotel are both going to be '7 star'

http://www.dariushgrandhotel.com/ under the 'Hotel Information' section it states: "Dariush, the world class 5 star hotel..."

I recomend you look on the Iran subforum for more pics, simply follow the links in my sig

I read somewhere that it was a "7 star". Anyways, whatever it is, I think it is one of the most beautiful hotels in the world. It really is amazing and VERY expensive.

Alitezar, thanx for all your amazing pix of Tehran. I love Tehran in the winter....the snow makes everything look so different. It looks like it snows more in northern Iran and Tehran than it does in most North American or even European cities. I guess it is because of the very high altitude and the Alborz mountains.

Don't ruin the thread with politics.

Btw, You do know that only 50% of Iranians are Persians right?

Some of the guys shown here really look similar to the "Prince of Persia" (game)

Anyway, I dont think only 3% of Irans population is arabic. Maybe 3% is PURE arabic. But a lot of irans persian population has ended up mixing with the arab invaders!!! This thread focuses on the PERSIAN population, which is whiter and look more european (most could very easily be mistaken by italians, spaniards, even french, while that DOESNT HAPPEN with arabs. It seems that the white persians are also the higher society of Iran. Is that right? The arabs are the lower society. And probably its the lower society arabs who mostly support the authoritarian government???

That brings to question: if Iran is so modern and cosmopolitan as these pics show, FROM WHERE DO THE GOVERNMENT TAKES ITS SUPPORT?? From smaller backwards cities? I mean... why doesnt iranian people revolt and just kick the ass of the government and install a true democracy and a system where government and religion are separate things??? Like in Turkey for example?

What are iranian views on the impending war with US? Do you really believe your government is developing atom energy for pacific uses? What do you think of the international community pressures to allow inspectors in the facilities?

You know, if it was truly for pacific uses, you WOULD allow the inspectors. Like Brasil did. This government is going to destroy Iran. You must overthrow it before the stupid americans bomb the hell out of you and destroy gorgeous Tehran!

lol...Ace...man that is the most pathatic post you have made. Arabs are lower part of society and the whiter persians are higher society? I guess your ancestors were slave traders back in the days. You must be from Europe. This type of nonsense usually comes from Europe.

well, so why only the PERSIANS showed in those pics? There are few or none arabs in those pics.
I am not saying such thing is GOOD, so there is no reason to think I am racist or my ancestors were slave traders.

The pictures that I posted are from regular people in Tehran streets and god knows if they are 100% Persian or Arab or whatever. Just for your info I should say that Arab people mostly live in Southern and south west part of Iran and this thread is about Tehran mostly. So if I had the pictures of southern cities posted here you'll for sure know that there are also Arab origin people there but in Tehran there is a mix of people from all over Iran.
