Meridien Hotel Gujranwala

Meridien Hotel Gujranwala is a mid-range hotel on the Grand Trunk Road in Jinnah Colony, Gujranwala, in Pakistan's Punjab province. The Jinnah Colony location is a residential and commercial area along the main GT Road corridor, which makes the property convenient for visitors arriving by road from Lahore or Islamabad. The old city, Sheranwala Bagh and the bazaars lie a short drive away by taxi or rickshaw. The hotel is a local property and should not be confused with international hotel brands of a similar name. Its character is practical and functional, aimed at business travellers, families visiting relatives and road travellers breaking a journey along the GT Road. Rooms are offered as Standard and Deluxe categories, both air-conditioned, which is essential in the hot Punjab summer. Rates are typically PKR 9,000 to 16,000 per night, making it one of the more affordable mid-range options in the city. A restaurant on the premises serves meals for guests, generally with Pakistani and Punjabi dishes, and parking is available for visitors travelling by car. The property is not known for a swimming pool, spa or fitness centre, and none are confirmed, so it suits travellers who want a simple, comfortable base. Service is modest in scale, with reception staff used to handling short stays and local family bookings. Gujranwala is an industrial city famous for its food, including chicken tikka, siri paye and traditional sweets, and guests can easily reach popular eateries by taxi. Visitors are advised to confirm room standards, air-conditioning performance and breakfast arrangements before booking, and to ask about early check-in if arriving after an overnight journey. Booking ahead is wise during wedding season and public holidays, when hotels across the city fill quickly.
