The Naseri Palace, also known as Shahrestanak Palace, is a 19th-century royal summer residence located in the mountain village of Shahrestanak in Alborz province, Iran. Commissioned by Qajar ruler Naser al-Din Shah and constructed between 1878 and 1881, the palace exemplifies Qajar architectural style and was strategically sited along the mountain route connecting Tehran to Mazandaran as a scenic retreat. Built of brick, stone, mortar, and wood, the complex fell into disrepair over time but underwent extensive restoration largely completed between 2021 and 2026. Today, the fully restored palace functions as a boutique hotel, restaurant, art gallery, and cultural tourism hub, serving as a designated Iranian National Heritage property.
