InterContinental Dhaka
The best luxury hotel in Dhaka by a meaningful margin. Consistent service, well-maintained rooms, and a location in Ramna that is central to both old and new Dhaka.
The InterContinental sits in a category of its own when it comes to Dhaka luxury hotels. Years of renovation and investment have kept it genuinely competitive with what you would expect internationally.
The Rooms
Standard rooms are large by Dhaka standards. The beds are excellent, the bathroom fixtures are well-maintained, and the views — particularly from the upper floors — are among the best you will get of the city. Request a higher floor away from Minto Road for the best combination of view and quiet.
The Dining
Three food and beverage options on-site. The Café Bazar does a reliable breakfast buffet that is worth the price for the choice and consistency. The rooftop bar Hezekiah is the real reason to visit even if you are not staying — sunset drinks with a 360-degree city view is hard to argue with.
The Service
Consistent, professional, and appropriately attentive without being intrusive. The concierge team knows Dhaka well and can make sensible restaurant recommendations (a rarer skill than it should be).
The Verdict
If business or occasion demands the best, this is where you stay. Worth the premium over the competition.
