Islamabad is poised to welcome its first-ever seven-star hotel in preparation for the upcoming Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, marking a major milestone in the city’s hospitality and tourism sector. The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has finalized all preliminary preparations for the project and has officially invited international hotel chains and developers to participate in its development through a public-private partnership or joint venture.
The planned hotel will be located in the Red Zone, a prime area of the city, ensuring both security and accessibility. Designed to meet the highest international standards, the facility will feature ultra-luxury suites, state-of-the-art banquet halls, seminar and conference rooms, and multi-storey parking to accommodate guests and visitors. Advanced security systems will also be installed to comply with global safety protocols, making it suitable for hosting international dignitaries and high-profile events.
This development is expected to not only elevate Islamabad’s global image but also boost business tourism, create employment opportunities, and enhance the city’s infrastructure. With the SCO summit on the horizon, the seven-star hotel will serve as a landmark project showcasing Pakistan’s growing capabilities in luxury hospitality and international-standard facilities.
