Establishment
Dariush Grand Hotel’s architecture is inspired by Persepolis, reflecting elements of ancient Persian architecture and the Achaemenid Empire of Iran. The hotel was developed by Iranian entrepreneur Hossein Sabet, who previously owned and managed several tourist attractions and hotels in the Canary Islands. The design and construction of the Dariush Grand Hotel were undertaken by MCI Group Development, a UAE‑ and Canada‑based subsidiary of the Lamex Group and the Leandro Iliya Group, founded and owned by Rez Okhowat, with interior design contributions from Shirin Rashidi, founder of SHIARTCO Luxury Interiors. The hotel was completed in 2003 and is currently owned by a consortium of companies.[1]
Management
On 7 May 2004, it was announced that the Rezidor Hotel Group would manage the Dariush Grand Hotel for ten years, to rebrand the hotel as a Radisson SAS property in the future.[2] [3]
