Why stay here
Unlike the other major hotels of Karachi that are located in the busy Saddar district and adjoining areas, Regent Plaza is situated conveniently on main Shahrah-e-Faisal, only a 15 minutes drive from the airport. The majestic facade, representing an elegant (and extremely large) cruise ship, makes the hotel difficult to miss, as it stands out amongst the surrounding buildings. The hotel contains 440 well-maintained rooms that meet the needs of all kinds of guests. Quite recently, many of the rooms have been refurbished substantially to improve the hotel’s quality standards.
