Summary:
Imran Khan’s supporters have been barred from staying in Islamabad hotels due to security concerns, local media reported citing the Capital Development Authority (CDA). The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairperson will lead his ‘Azadi March’ towards the federal capital on November 2, calling on the government to resign and give people their rights. The party fears that if the government blocks all roads leading to Islamabad, the participants of Khan’s march won’t be able to stay overnight in the city.
Where can we stay?
This is a real problem for the people who are coming to participate in the march. Imran Khan is planning on holding this march from 14th-16th of October, and there has been no word yet about where all of these participants will be staying for the duration of this event. If you want to plan your trip now and make sure that you have a place to stay, you might want to start looking at hotels outside of Islamabad.
Hotel Options in Rawalpindi
As the march participants from the Imran Khan led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party are barred from accommodating in Islamabad hotels, there are a number of options for them to choose from. The participants who have been traveling to Rawalpindi for over three days now have the option of staying at more than 5 hotels.
Hectic times at AOA Rawalpindi
The hoteliers of Rawalpindi were left disgruntled this past week after being told that they could not accommodate participants of Imran Khan's march at their hotels due to a ban imposed by the district administration. This is unfair, said Qazi Athar, owner of the Pearl Continental Hotel. We have cancelled all our reservations for Friday and Saturday because we cannot accommodate any more guests.
How to book your hotel room now
If you're looking to book a room in the next few days, we recommend visiting one of these hotels:
- Pearl Continental Hotel (5-star) 10 minutes from Parliament House and 8 minutes from Jinnah Avenue. Room rates start at $228 per night.
- Serena Hotel (5-star) - Located near the Jinnah International Airport.
Other ways to find accommodation
Hotel rooms are at a premium during the march as many participants will be staying in the city for a few days. Luckily, there are still some hotels that have availability - albeit at a significantly higher price. If you're looking to stay close to the Red Zone then consider one of the following hotels: Pearl Continental, Pearl Tower or Grand Hotel.
