01The story
SINCE 1880
For more than a century, these corridors have watched Lahore change around them.
Victorian, Colonial and Art Deco influences live side by side here — in Burmese teak panelling, in arched verandahs, in ballrooms that have hosted a young nation’s defining figures. This is not a hotel that imitates history. It is one that kept it.
