4-star hotels in Dhaka
A shortlist of 4-star hotels in Dhaka, drawn from guest ratings and facilities, for travellers weighing up where to base themselves in Bangladesh's capital. It covers central addresses in Gulshan, Banani and Mohakhali as well as options further out, and points to which hotel suits which kind of trip.
Staying in Dhaka
Dhaka rewards visitors with layers of history: the Mughal-era Lalbagh Fort, the 17th-century Ahsan Manzil palace and the Armenian Church in Old Dhaka, alongside bazaars such as Sadarghat and Chawkbazar. Across the river, the modern districts of Gulshan, Banani and Baridhara hold embassies, corporate offices and international hotels, and the city's calendar fills with festivals from the Mangal Shobhajatra at Pahela Baishakh to weddings and cultural events. It is a dense, energetic metropolis that is both deeply traditional and rapidly modernising.
Most hotels on this list sit in those modern northern districts: addresses name Gulshan, Banani, Mohakhali and Uttara, with a few further out towards the airport road and beyond. Couples and short-break visitors will find the Gulshan and Banani addresses closest to the centre, while business travellers are served by hotels with business centres and meeting rooms in Banani and Gulshan. Families have options with family rooms, pools and playgrounds, and those wanting space and quiet can look to the outlying resorts.
