3-star hotels in Laboni
A shortlist of the 3-star hotels in Laboni, Cox's Bazar's original tourist quarter, where the town meets the sand. It is for travellers who want the country's busiest domestic beach, walkable streets and steady, tested places to sleep.
Staying in Laboni
Laboni is the beach Bangladesh actually goes to: the closest sand to the town centre, a jetty busy with speedboats and an entrance road that works as the region's promenade. On a Friday evening in December there can be tens of thousands of people on this single kilometre of sand, alongside beach shacks selling coconuts and fried fish, shell jewellery, Burmese slippers, photographers and horse handlers. The hotels here are older than Kolatoli's and run back towards the town centre rather than forming a beachfront wall, so sea views are fewer but the main market, bus stand, banks, pharmacies and the Burmese Market sit within ten to fifteen minutes on foot. These 15 three-star properties sit along that strip and the streets behind it: Sea Beach Road, Laboni Beach Road, Kalataly Road, Light House Road, Hotel Sayeman Road and the Hotel Motel Zone. Guest ratings run from 4.0 down to 3.5, with 3,466 reviews at the top.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Laboni is the closest sand to the Cox's Bazar town centre, and the entrance road onto the beach works as the region's promenade. The bus stand, the main market, banks, pharmacies and the Burmese Market are all within ten to fifteen minutes on foot from the hotels here. The fish market moves in the early morning. Shopping streets are at their best between five and nine in the evening, after the heat. Laboni and Kolatoli are two kilometres apart and share the same beach.
When to go
Outside November–February and Eid, you can usually book a room on arrival, but in peak season book ahead, as Laboni fills first because it is closest to the bus stand. A Friday evening in December brings tens of thousands of people onto this single kilometre of sand. The sunset crowd peaks about twenty minutes before the sun reaches the water and thins fast, making the following half hour the nicest time to be on the sand.
