The Naseri Palace (Persian: کاخ ناصری), or Shahrestanak Palace (Persian: کاخ شهرستانک), is a 19th-century royal summer residence in Shahrestanak, a mountain village in the Alborz province, Iran.[1] Commissioned by the Qajar ruler Naser al-Din Shah, the complex was constructed between 1878 and 1881 as a scenic retreat along the mountain route connecting Tehran to the northern province of Mazandaran.[2]
Following a long period of abandonment and structural decay, the historic palace underwent an extensive multi-year revitalization project that was largely completed between 2021 and 2026.[3] The fully restored complex is repurposed to serve as a boutique hotel, restaurant, art gallery, and cultural tourism hub.[4][3]
