The hotel’s facilities include a restaurant serving local Punjabi specialties and international delicacies, a fitness center with a range of modern cardio-vascular equipment, and conference and banqueting space suitable for hosting corporate meetings and social events.

“We are delighted to be debuting in yet another key Asian market,” said Glenn de Souza, Best Western International’s Vice President International Operations – Asia & the Middle East. “Last year we opened our first properties in several major Asian cities, including Kuala Lumpur, Riyadh and Muscat. Now, as we enter 2013 we’re proud to be launching one of the only international-standard hotels in Lahore. As Pakistan's second largest city, with a population of more than six million people, Lahore is a very exciting market. As a growing destination for domestic and international corporate travel, we are confident the Best Western Lahore will be a great success.”
