Situated in the picturesque valley of Darakeh in northern Tehran, the Sama Kourosh Darakeh Luxury Hotel is an iconic 31-story hospitality landmark rising harmoniously amidst the majestic foothills of the Alborz mountains. Commissioned by Kourosh Shekarollahi and spanning a total gross floor area of 26,410 square meters across 31 levels (including 6 deep subterranean basements providing 200 parking stalls and vital logistical infrastructure), the tower is conceived as a multi-tiered vertical resort. The architectural program seamlessly integrates 204 bespoke luxury guest rooms and presidential suites across floors 4 through 23, crowned on the 24th floor and rooftop terrace by an open-air panoramic infinity swimming pool and high-altitude Sky Lounge commanding breathtaking 360-degree vistas across both the Darakeh canyon and the Tehran urban skyline. The podium incorporates a double-height grand entrance lobby, fine-dining restaurants, diplomatic banquet halls, and a world-class subterranean thermal wellness spa. Engineered with a C40 high-performance reinforced concrete dual-shear core and an advanced Low-E acoustic curtain wall envelope, the design reinterprets mountainous terrain into a contemporary civic beacon while strictly adhering to municipal urban standards and ecological sensitivity.
