The Westin Dhaka

The Westin Dhaka is a Marriott-operated five-star hotel on Main Gulshan Avenue, Plot 01, Road 45, in Gulshan-2, Dhaka, Bangladesh. It overlooks Gulshan Lake and stands in the heart of the capital's diplomatic and banking district, within short reach of many embassies, corporate offices and the restaurant belt around the Gulshan-2 circle. Shahjalal International Airport lies to the north, and transfers can take anywhere from 30 minutes to well over an hour depending on traffic. The hotel is regarded as one of the main international-chain addresses for business and diplomatic visitors, and its public spaces have the polished, corporate character typical of the brand. Rooms are arranged as Deluxe and Executive rooms, with Junior, Executive and Presidential suites above them, and the upper floors take in views over the lake and the Gulshan skyline. Dining is spread across restaurants and a bar on site, with an international breakfast that draws both hotel guests and local business meetings. For leisure, the property has a swimming pool, a spa and a fitness centre, offering a reliable place to recover after long working days. Service is business-oriented and formal, with a concierge desk, a business centre and free wifi, and staff used to handling delegations, embassy guests and long-stay corporate travellers. Because of its position, guests can walk to nearby cafes and restaurants in Gulshan-2, though pavements are uneven and many visitors prefer a car or ride-hailing app for anything beyond a short stroll. Rates of roughly BDT 26,000 to 60,000 per night place the hotel among the priciest in Dhaka, with the suites at the upper end. It suits travellers who prioritise a recognised global brand, reliable standards and location in Gulshan over sightseeing convenience, since the historic sights of Old Dhaka are a considerable drive away across the city.
