2. The Westin Dhaka
Discover Dhaka, Bangladesh from The Westin Dhaka. Located in the heart of Gulshan, Dhaka’s growing business and diplomatic district, this luxury hotel places you close to corporate offices, embassies, high-end shopping, dining, entertainment, and historical landmarks.
This hotel is located about 20 minutes from the airport. If there’s no traffic, it’s about 20 minutes north of where all the touristy sites are. Expect to pay around $30 USD in a taxi to get to the airport or the tourist sights.
Rooms are spacious with a large non-traditional room design, a huge bathroom with a rainfall shower, and all rooms include the supremely comfortable Westin Heavenly® Bed. There are five restaurants and bars offering Italian to Asian food and an outdoor heated pool, fitness center, and spa.
This Westin has an executive club lounge, which is open daily for breakfast, evening drinks, and snacks and offers an excellent and extensive lounge meal, more than enough to fill you up. The service in the lounge is particularly good. Expect cheese, desserts, sushi, mini-sandwiches, several hot items, quiche, chicken wraps, calamari, chicken satay, plus pizza. Alcohol and soft drinks are also available for free.
For the Platinum Marriott Bonvoy amenity, you can have a continental breakfast in the Lounge each morning, or you can forgo your 500 points and have breakfast in the restaurant downstairs, which is truly great with Asian, Indian, and Western food options.
