Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel is a historic 5-star hotel in Dhaka. It is one of the oldest 5-star hotels in Bangladesh and is owned by the Government of Bangladesh and operated by Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts.

History

Pan Pacific Sonargaon was established in 1981. It is a subsidiary by Hotels International Limited which is owned by the Government of Bangladesh. On 25 June 1977, the Government of Bangladesh created Hotels International Limited to build a 5-star hotel in Dhaka. The building of the hotel was funded by a loan from the Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund (now Japan Bank for International Cooperation) and the government of Bangladesh. Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts was hired to manage the hotel as Bangladesh lacked the necessary experience of operating a 5-star hotel. An 8 acres site in Karwan Bazar was chosen as the construction site.

Renovation works in the hotel began in 2007 by Accom Engineering Ltd, a sister concern of Orion Group. It was stalled due to the 2007-2008 caretaker government political crises in Bangladesh and corruption allegations. The renovation works were completed by mid-2017.
