Radisson Blu Dhaka Water Garden

Radisson Blu Dhaka Water Garden is a landscaped five-star hotel on Airport Road, facing the Dhaka Cantonment area in Bangladesh. It sits roughly midway between Shahjalal International Airport and central Dhaka, which makes it one of the more convenient international-brand options for travellers with early departures or late arrivals. The setting is greener and quieter than most of the capital's hotel districts, and the gardens and water features that give the property its name are its defining feature. Its position on Airport Road also gives reasonable access to Gulshan and Banani to the south, though the corridor is congested at peak hours. The hotel is popular with airline crews and corporate guests, and its atmosphere is calm and business-focused. Rooms are offered as Superior rooms, Business Class rooms, Junior suites and Executive suites, with the higher categories providing more space and added lounge benefits. Amenities include a swimming pool set in the gardens, a spa, a fitness centre, restaurants, a bar, wifi and a business centre. Dining covers international buffets, Asian dishes and Bangladeshi cuisine, and the breakfast is a regular fixture for crews and delegations. Service is typical of the Radisson Blu brand, professional and accustomed to short business stays, group bookings and transit passengers. Rates of around BDT 18,000 to 45,000 per night place it in the luxury tier, though below the priciest Gulshan addresses. The hotel suits visitors who want a recognised chain and easy airport access, and who are content to travel by car for sightseeing and dinners in other parts of the city. Guests planning a full Dhaka itinerary should factor in travel time to Old Dhaka, which lies well to the south of the cantonment and can take an hour or more in traffic.
