Manouchehri House is a historic mansion in Kashan, Iran, whose origins trace to the Safavid dynasty. Severely damaged in the 1778 earthquake, it was reconstructed during the Qajar era in the architectural style characteristic of that period. Long neglected, the house was purchased and registered as an Iranian National Heritage monument in 2007, then underwent major restoration to become Iran's first boutique hotel. The structure employs traditional materials—plaster, adobe, and aluminium—and has earned international recognition, including a Lonely Planet Top Choice award in 2012 and a shortlist nomination for the Aga Khan Award.
