Choose your base based on your interests and travel style.
Gulshan and Banani
Dhaka's most prestigious residential and hotel district, home to embassies, five-star hotels (Sheraton, Le Méridien), international restaurants, and the best shopping. Safe, well-maintained, and walkable by Dhaka standards — the top choice for first-time visitors.
Best for: First-time visitors, business travellers, families, five-star hotels
Ramna and Motijheel
The heart of official Dhaka with the InterContinental and Pan Pacific Sonargaon hotels, close to the Bangabhaban Presidential Palace, Suhrawardy Udyan park, and business district. Convenient for sightseeing but not the most walkable area.
Best for: Business travellers, sightseers, access to InterContinental and Pan Pacific hotels
Dhanmondi
A lively residential neighbourhood popular with the younger professional crowd, offering mid-range guesthouses, trendy cafes, the Hatirjheel Lake walk, and access to Dhaka's art and cultural scene. More affordable than Gulshan with good transport connections.
Best for: Budget travellers, cultural enthusiasts, café culture
Cox's Bazar Hotel-Motel Zone
The dedicated hotel zone along Kalatoli Road and Marine Drive in Cox's Bazar, ranging from budget guesthouses to five-star beach resorts. Properties here offer direct or near beach access and the widest choice for Bangladesh's most popular tourist destination.

Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.
Book Cox's Bazar and St. Martin's Island accommodation 2-3 months in advance for the November-February peak season and during Eid and Pohela Boishakh holidays
Major five-star hotels in Dhaka (InterContinental, Sheraton, Pan Pacific) often offer 15-25% discounts for direct bookings versus online travel agencies
Check if your hotel includes breakfast — Dhaka five-star hotel breakfasts are elaborate and worth the premium, while budget hotels rarely include food
Guesthouses in Dhanmondi and Uttara offer excellent value at 30-40% less than equivalent Gulshan properties with easy access via the metro
For Bandarban and Chittagong Hill Tracts, book accommodation well in advance during October-March as quality options are limited and fill quickly
