3-star hotels in Dhaka
A shortlist of 15 three-star hotels in Dhaka, spanning Gulshan, Banani, Kakrail, Naya Paltan and beyond. It is for travellers who want a guest rating of 4.4 or above, a known address and clear facilities, whether they come for business, a family trip or a short city break.
Staying in Dhaka
Dhaka pairs layers of history with fast-modernising districts. Old Dhaka holds the Mughal-era Lalbagh Fort, the 17th-century Ahsan Manzil palace and the Armenian Church beside the bazaars of Sadarghat and Chawkbazar. Across the river, Gulshan, Banani and Baridhara host embassies, corporate offices and international hotels. The city is also a city of festivals, from Mangal Shobhajatra during Pahela Baishakh to weddings and cultural events that fill its calendar.
The hotels on this list sit mainly in the newer city: Gulshan (Lake Wood Residency, The Midori By Lakeshore, Lakeshore Heights), Banani (Hotel Omni Residency), Kakrail, Naya Paltan and Topkhana Road (Grand Palace Hotel & Resorts Dhaka, Hotel Victory Best in City Center, Hotel Vip Inn, Hotel The Grand Hyatt Dhaka), plus addresses near Kawran Bazar, Sukrabad and Mirpur Road. Business travellers value the Gulshan and Banani bases; couples and families find space in the larger properties, and short-break visitors are closest to the centre at Jatra Rooms, Hotel Suite Palace and Hotel Omni Residency, each within about 1.2 km of the centre.
