4- and 5-star hotels in Sylhet
A shortlist of the 4- and 5-star hotels in Sylhet, gathered so you can compare the city's top-end stays in one place. It suits couples, families and business travellers who want air conditioning, reliable wifi and a restaurant on site while staying close to Sylhet's commercial heart or its greener edge.
Staying in Sylhet
Sylhet moves at a gentler pace than Dhaka, with wide roads and a greener setting, and its Sylheti language and cooking — pitha, bhuna khichuri — give the city its own flavour. Visitors come for business, for the shrine of Hazrat Shah Jalal, and for the tea gardens and natural sites beyond the city. Most of them sit in the centre or just off it: Grand Mostafa Hotel Ababil at Dargah Gate and Grand Palace Hotel & Resorts Sylhet on Jallarpar Rd in Zindabazar are both 0.7 km from the centre, while Rose View Hotel in Shahjalal Uposhohor is 2.1 km out. A second group clusters further from the middle — Grand Sylhet Hotel & Resort on Airport Road at 6.0 km, Windsor Hotel and Resort on the same road at 5.7 km, and Nazimgarh Wilderness Resort at 38.3 km. Couples and short-break visitors gravitate to the central addresses, families to the resorts with pools and playgrounds, business travellers to the ones with business centres and express check-in.
