On October 7th, 1907, Tehran was officially selected as the capital of Iran by the Constitutional Assembly enactment.
In 2017, this date was named “Tehran Day” by Tehran City Council and since then different ceremonies are held on this occasion.
On October 7th, 2019 the municipality of Tehran organized a ceremony on Tehran Day to honor the premiers in restoring historical buildings of Tehran and Ali Jafarnejad the owner and manager of Pahleval Razaz Guest House (Arian Hostel), received an appreciation award for his efforts in restoring this valuable house in Tehran.

Arian Hostel (Pahlevan Razzaz Guest House) was selected as the best traditional hostel in Tehran and Ali Jafarnejad, the founder, as the most successful entrepreneur in Tehran in the annual assembly of Tourism Ministry.
Ali Jafarnejad bought the property in 2016, and started the renovation process immediately. After about 2 years and half, this old building turned into a beautiful hostel with all facilities of modern accommodation as well as all the features of an authentic traditional building.
What was done in Arian Hostel was a work of art and love and the Tourism Ministry noticed it very well.
This is only a beginning for Arian Hostel. The project continues by expanding the building and adding more rooms and facilities to the hostel.
Wait for some surprising news in near future.
