Faletti's Hotel Lahore

Staying at Flattei’s Hotel is like stepping back into the grand and nostalgic charm of early 20th-century Lahore. The hotel's colonial architecture, with its majestic high ceilings, long black-and-white tiled corridors, and beautifully manicured gardens, evokes a glorious past that few places can still offer. It is a living reminder of a more gracious era—one in which Lahore was a cosmopolitan hub, frequently visited by international dignitaries, artists, and icons such as Ava Gardner and Marlon Brando. Flattei’s also holds historic significance, having hosted luminaries like Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Justice Cornelius. Walking through its halls, you can't help but feel connected to the city’s rich cultural and liberal heritage. The staff is exceptionally courteous, well-mannered, and genuinely helpful—offering warm smiles and attentive service that often surpasses what is found in many of today’s five-star establishments. Its location is unmatched—tucked behind WAPDA House, near the Punjab Assembly, and right off The Mall, placing you at the crossroads of old-world charm and modern-day Lahore. Whether you are a local looking for a serene staycation or a visitor eager to explore the city’s heritage, Flattei’s Hotel offers an experience like no other.

Of all the good hotels in Lahore's Garhi Shahu neighbourhood I went for the Faletti's because of its history going back to 1880. Renewed in style the traditional aesthetics were kept. Positively surprised, I especially liked the large executive room I had booked, more like a suite. It had all I needed and the king bed was comfortable. Not much of a view though, so curtains stayed closed all day, since the window was facing a nearby wall with barbed wire on top. There was space in the bathroom, but the only problem was the enormous showerhead, which forced one to put on a shower cap just to let the water come out. Also the glass door to the cubicle didn't close well, so the whole bathroom floor got completely wet after each shower. Room service by two young men was good, but annoying was the fact that two managers in suits knocked at the door - on different evenings - saying that they were in charge of cleaning the room, pushing for a tip at the same time. This was not in style with the hotel's standard, very much in contrast to the always friendly and helpful porters by the entrance. A good choice of items is to be had at the breakfast buffet, cooked and non-cooked, also several Pakistani newspapers in English are available. Unlike at breakfast time, in the late afternoons and evenings the restaurant filled up with local customers, so I regularly had my dinner in the room. There was plenty to chose from, but I always went for local food. There is outdoor seating available at a lawn, part of the hotel grounds, but nowhere to walk to outside the hotel.

There must have been snacks in the room and the entertainment systems should've the internet connection and wifi should be provided. Overall it was amazing. Hoping to come next time as well with my children too. There was nothing for children entertainment as well

Loved the staff and the amazing reception,. Rooms smelled a bit

Overcharged for meals not eaten, even though 3 days advance notice was given. Staff came into rooms regularly, interrupting and disruptive, ant times without knocking, asking directly for tips daily. Mosquitoes in room each night. Toiletries missing from beginning and never replenished. Could not get an iron for ironing. They hovered over me while I ironed my clothing and immediately took it back each night

A comfortable historic hotel Visit Falettis for it's history. It's a comfortable heritage hotel and the staff are attentive and friendly. It doesn't quite match high end European or US standards in fit and finish, but it has a lot of charm and was far superior to every other hotel I stayed in during my 3 weeks in Pakistan. I would definitely return.
