The federal capital of Islamabad is facing a critical shortage of high-end lodging facilities for international gatherings, prompting the prime minister to order the transformation of several government structures into premier hotels. To oversee this initiative, a panel consisting of the interior, finance and housing ministers has been convened.
The Shahid-e-Millat Building, a candidate for conversion in the initial stage, is set to become a five-star establishment. Discussions are underway regarding the proposed plan, which will undergo scrutiny by the ministerial committee. The property spans an area of 4,400 square yards and currently houses 128 guest rooms, with room for expansion to accommodate 64 opulent suites.
This strategic decision aims to meet the burgeoning demand for hotel accommodations in Islamabad, particularly in light of upcoming international events, such as the SCO gathering, which is anticipated to necessitate over 4,000 hotel rooms across the city.
