Pan Pacific Sonargaon Dhaka

Pan Pacific Sonargaon Dhaka is a five-star hotel at 107 Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue, in the Karwan Bazar area on the western side of central Dhaka, Bangladesh. The location sits between the Karwan Bazar commercial district and Farmgate, which places it closer to the city's offices, media houses and government departments than the Gulshan diplomatic quarter. Traffic in this part of Dhaka is heavy at peak hours, so visitors typically allow generous transfer time to and from Shahjalal International Airport, which lies to the north. The hotel is one of the long-standing large international-standard properties in the capital and works mainly as a business and conference address, with a formal, corporate atmosphere in its public areas. Accommodation ranges from Standard, Deluxe and Premier rooms to Pacific Club rooms with lounge-style privileges, and on to Junior, Executive, Bengali and International suites for longer stays or entertaining. Dining is a central part of the offer, with six venues including Jharna Grill and Cafe Bazar, the all-day restaurant where the breakfast buffet and international spreads are served. A bar and business centre complete the food-and-work side of the property. Leisure facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, a 24-hour gym, a spa, a sauna and a steam room, which make the hotel a workable base for guests who want to unwind after long days of meetings in a busy capital. Service is business-oriented, with a business centre, meeting capability and free wifi, and staff generally accustomed to corporate groups, airline crews and visiting delegations. Rates in the range of BDT 25,000 to 55,000 per night place the hotel in the top price tier for Dhaka, and rates often vary with events and season. The hotel suits travellers who need central access to Karwan Bazar, Farmgate and the wider commercial districts rather than the embassy-lined streets of Gulshan and Banani. Bangladeshi cuisine, western breakfasts and Asian dishes are all commonly available across its restaurants, so guests can eat on site without leaving the compound in the evening.
