A new international standard hotel -- Summer Palace Hotel and Apartments -- started its operation in Dhaka recently.
"The management of Summer Palace has taken a bold initiative to attract international travellers to Bangladesh and is set to provide quality services as per the need," hoped Lutfuzzaman Babar, state minister for home affairs, at the inauguration of the hotel.
Considering the needs of the businesses, the hotel also offers other value added services that include mobile phone and laptop rental, 24-hour room service and security service, common meeting room and emergency doctor on call, says a press release.
The hotel has standard, deluxe, super deluxe and Summer Palace suits and separate executive club floor.
Its service apartments have three bedrooms, lobby and drawing room with self-contained kitchen.
The hotel is only 10 minutes drive from Zia International Airport and very close to diplomatic missions and commercial areas in Dhaka.
