Sumario:Accommodation and hospitality facilities are some of the most significant infrastructures of the tourism industry, of which providing them for foreign tourists has been a concern among governmental officials Since the beginning of the Pahlavi era. It is of considerable importance to study the status of accommodation and hospitality facilities in Isfahan, as one of the tourism hubs of the country, which has always been the center of tourist attractions from the Ṣafavīd period until the present day. With this approach, the purpose of this study is a chronological overview of the development of tourist facilities, in the province of Isfahan, during developmental plans and comparing it with other states and tourism hubs in the Pahlavī period. The results of this study showed that the Plan Organization did not allocate funds for tourist facilities before the establishment of the Tourist Attraction Organization in 1963, despite acknowledging the importance of developing the tourism industry in the country. During the Fourth and Fifth Development Plans, the Tourist Attraction Organization took many measures in the field of construction as well as the development of accommodation and hospitality facilities. However, the province of Isfahan has a small share of the transformation in the country's accommodation and hospitality facilities. Disregarding the central provinces with Tehrān as the capital, the provinces of Fārs, Ḵorāsān, Ḵūzestān, Māzandarān, and Gilān  had more accommodation facilities than the province of Isfahan had at the time. This research utilizes the historical analysis method with a descriptive and analytical approach based on archival documents and government reports, active interviews, and library studies.
