Accommodation
Lahore offers a
variety of
accommodation in all
price categories.
From hotels
conforming to the
highest
international
standard and
belonging to
international
chains—with a
corresponding price
tag to the modestly
priced hostels, can
all be found in the
centre of the city.
Compared with
similar
accommodation in
Europe and North
America, even the
most well-known
offer good value for
money.
The selection of
hotel or
accommodation should
be carried out
carefully, depending
upon your planned
activities in the
city. Almost all the
expensive hotels are
in close proximity
to each other and
may not be within
walking distance to
the main shopping or
commercial areas.
The more moderately
priced hotels are
spread all over the
city, some of which
you will find closer
to the Walled City,
shopping and/or
commercial
districts. Tourists
might find the
bazaars of greater
interest while for
commercial
travellers access to
the business
district may be a
priority.
In the case of
hotels which are of
international
standard or belong
to international
chains, it is
advisable to make
prior reservation,
since they may be
fully booked. Be
particularly careful
during the Basant
Festival in
mid-February when
almost the whole
world descends on
Lahore. These hotels
are centrally
air-conditioned and
offer 24-hour room
service.
