Dhaka Regency Hotel & Resort

Dhaka Regency Hotel & Resort is a resort-style hotel on Airport Road in Nikunja-2, at Plot 4, 6, 31 and 33, Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is only minutes from Shahjalal International Airport, which makes it a convenient base for early departures, late arrivals and short layovers. Nikunja is a residential area to the north of the city centre, and the hotel's larger site gives it a more spacious, resort-like feel than most central Dhaka hotels. Airport Road is a busy artery, and journeys south to Gulshan, Banani and the city centre can be slow at peak hours. The surrounding area offers limited sightseeing, so most guests use the hotel as a comfortable, self-contained base and travel by car for meetings and excursions. Rooms are offered as Deluxe rooms, Executive rooms and suites, with air conditioning and wifi. Amenities include a swimming pool, a fitness centre, a restaurant, parking and a business centre, and the pool and grounds are a draw for families and weekend guests. Dining covers breakfast and all-day meals on site, with international and Bangladeshi dishes typical of Dhaka hotels. The hotel is also used for events and functions, given its larger footprint. Service is friendly and practical, with staff used to transit passengers, airline personnel and corporate guests. Rates of about BDT 9,000 to 24,000 per night place it in the upscale tier, below the international-chain hotels along the same road. The hotel suits travellers who want a resort-style stay with pool and parking close to the airport, at a moderate price. Those wanting to explore Old Dhaka, Gulshan restaurants or government offices should plan for a substantial drive and allow generous time in heavy traffic.
