Le Meridien Dhaka

Le Meridien Dhaka is a Marriott-managed five-star hotel on Airport Road near Kurmitola, in the Dhaka Cantonment area of Bangladesh. It lies a short drive from Shahjalal International Airport, which makes it a practical choice for travellers on early flights or late arrivals who prefer an international-brand hotel away from the congested streets of Gulshan. The surrounding area is largely institutional and residential, so evening dining and shopping options nearby are limited and most guests eat on site or travel by car. Airport Road is a main artery, and the journey south to Gulshan, Banani or the city centre can be slow at peak hours, so timing matters when planning meetings. The hotel presents a modern, international character consistent with the Le Meridien brand, and its public areas are aimed at business and transit guests. Rooms are organised into Deluxe rooms, Club rooms and suites, with Club rooms offering lounge access and added services. Facilities include a swimming pool, a spa, a fitness centre, restaurants and a bar, along with wifi and a business centre. Dining typically covers an international breakfast buffet, all-day options and Asian and Bangladeshi dishes. Service is oriented to business travellers and airline crews, with efficient check-in and check-out and staff used to short stays. Rates of roughly BDT 18,000 to 42,000 per night place the hotel in the luxury tier, generally below the top Gulshan properties. The hotel suits visitors who value proximity to the airport and an international brand over access to the capital's sightseeing, and it works well as a first or last night in Dhaka. Those planning to see Old Dhaka, the National Parliament area or Gulshan restaurants should budget considerable travel time from this location.
