Pakistan’s capital is set to welcome its first seven-star hotel, which will be located along the Srinagar Highway. According to Federal Minister for Housing and Works, Mian Riaz Hussain Pirzada, construction of the luxury facility is expected to begin by the end of this year.
The project will be developed under a public-private partnership (PPP) model. Alongside the hotel, a world-class hospital is also planned in the same area, following the same development framework. The Federal Government Employees Housing Authority (FGEHA), tasked with overseeing the initiative, has revised a previous decision and granted approval for the hotel and hospital in Sector G-13, near the Srinagar Highway Link Road that leads to the new Islamabad International Airport.
Both the hotel and hospital will be auctioned through an open and transparent bidding process.
Furthermore, FGEHA has earmarked 11 additional sites for development under the PPP model. These include plots for an IT tower and an international business hub in Sector G-13, a shopping mall as part of the Skyline Project, an international school in G-14/2, and various residential-commercial ventures in Rawalpindi and Murree.
