Affordable Luxury in Dhaka: Renaissance Gulshan Experience

Renaissance Dhaka Gulshan Hotel offers one of the most stylish stays in the city — and with a little planning, it can fit a smart traveler's budget too. I booked a deluxe room through an online deal and paid around 9,500 BDT, which included access to the rooftop infinity pool, breakfast buffet, and fitness center. The hotel is located in Gulshan 2, one of the safest and most convenient areas in Dhaka. From here, you can easily explore local cafés, parks, and shopping malls on foot or by short rickshaw rides. The room was modern, clean, and had a beautiful city view. The rooftop pool and bar area is a highlight — perfect for sunset photos and quiet relaxation. If you’re not planning to stay overnight, you can still enjoy a spa session, coffee at the lobby lounge, or a buffet meal — which makes it a great budget-luxury stop during a Dhaka trip. Keep an eye out for weekend packages or holiday offers, and you can enjoy five-star service without breaking the bank.
