Dhaka
Millennium modern with deliberate local cultural touches. Think broad lobbies, designer chandeliers, and a mix of contemporary fittings and references to Bangladeshi heritage. Busy with both business travelers and Dhaka's social crowd — especially the restaurants and the lounge.
The Aquadeck poolside bar has private booths and open-sky views of Ramna Park — worth visiting even if you're not staying overnight
Why It Matters
Bangladesh's original five-star hotel, with genuine political and historical significance. It holds the IHG InterContinental brand flag for the country, won the World Luxury Hotel Awards 2024 (Luxury City Business Hotel Continent Winner), and runs the most comprehensive hospitality operation in Dhaka — including the only luxury spa of this scale in the city.
Bangladesh's first international five-star hotel — opened in 1966, closed for a major renovation in 2014, and reopened in late 2018 after IHG took back management from the Bangladeshi government. The history here is real: the hotel was declared a neutral zone by the International Red Cross during the 1971 Liberation War, and there's a Hall of Fame and museum on the ground floor. Today it's a 226-room operation with five restaurants, an award-winning spa, and an outdoor temperature-controlled pool overlooking Ramna Park.
