Best Western Plus Maple Leaf

The hotel group announced the opening of the Best Western Plus Maple Leaf, located near the international airport Hazrat Shahjalal in Dhaka.

After the Best Western La Vinci Hôtel in the center of Dhaka, Best Western is opening a second property in the capital of Bangladesh, near the airport. The new Best Western Plus Maple Leaf has 50 rooms and suites, a restaurant, a bar, a spa and meeting rooms.

"With its huge population and thriving manufacturing industry, Bangladesh is fast becoming one of Asia's new tiger economies. And as the main air gateway to the world's eighth most populous country, Hazrat Shahjalal international airport has a vast amount of potential. That is why we are so excited to welcome Best Western Plus Maple Leaf into our Asian collection," declared Glenn de Souza, Vice President of International Operations Best Western for Middle East and Asia.

In light of the interest this market represents for its growth, the group plans to open two additional properties in Bangladesh in the years to come, including one in Cox's Bazar.

On January 1, 2014, Best Western International was the eighth hotel group worldwide in terms of number of rooms, according to the ranking realized each year by MKG Hospitality, hospitality consulting firm founded by Georges Panayotis. It had a network of 4,046 hotels and 314,318 rooms worldwide. (read our report)
