I have traveled much of the world – for business and just as a traveler -- and by now I have made five visits to Dhaka in seven years, a wild impossible city that I love very much. This fifth visit I thought I would stay in Dhaka maybe ten days or two weeks, but I found the Sky City Hotel such a fine and welcoming home, that I stayed for more than a month. This fresh very new medium-sized hotel is lovely, with a beautiful dining room and a fine head chef (he worked at the Sheraton and gets international cuisine right ). Without exception the staff is welcoming, helpful, professional. The rooms are very nice and pretty big, a splendid bathroom furnished with high quality fixtures. The hotel gym, a commercial gym with members who are lawyers, business people, spoiled rich kids and some lifters, is a terrific. The manager has a talent for hiring people who do great jobs – he must treat them pretty well, for they seem happy. The hotel owner Mr. Islam in fact spends much time at the hotel, talking to people (me among them) on the nice sofas in the lobby and watching over his domain to make sure things run well. The immaculately clean rooms at night are quiet, and even quiet during the day, the air conditioning almost silent. and efficient. Ask for a few more hangers for the closet and they will appear in minutes. I recommend this hotel without reservation. Also, some prefer the leafier part of town in Gulshan -- not me. Here is the real energy of Dhaka.
