The location of this hotel is a big plus - right next to the Mall road, the famous shopping area. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. Service was good. Only grouse I had was - there no attractive view from the room (it had large windows).

We are happy that you liked the rooms. Since the hotel is in the heart of the city,some new constructions have come up near the hotel, blocking the view from some of the rooms.Thank you for your feedback. More

I didn't find anything special in this hotel. It's doesn't matches the name Fortune. It wasn't worth spending too much money. No value for money. it's an old property but nothing heritage about it. Also i would mention that bathroom was small and property had few crack in wooden floor. Though it's located in mid of city so don't expect... More

The hotel has the date 1905 over the door and was clearly built in a time when big rooms were the norm and an army of servants were available to keep stoking the fire in every room. Not the case in 2013 so the rooms were cool but ours was kept comfortable by an electric fire. We found the staff... More

I stayed at the Fortune Resort for 3 nights after an unhappy period of time in Bangladesh with Bangla-belly, as part of a group tour. Although still feeling ill, the Fortune certainly raised my spirits and put a smile on my pale face! We were greeted with tea and biscuits, which we took by the windows near the dining area,... More
