Grand Sultan Tea Resort & Golf hosts banquets and weddings of up to 500 guests, corporate dinners of 100 to 200 and business meetings in a set of conference rooms, with 134 rooms and suites on site. The resort is in Srimongal, in the Sylhet region of northeast Bangladesh, an area known as the country's tea capital.
Seminars and company events
The resort suits companies that want to take a team out of Dhaka for several days. Dewan-E-Khas is the business wing, a group of meeting and conference rooms for board meetings, training and workshops. Larger sessions, gala dinners and award nights can move to the banquet halls, which range from 100 to 500 guests. With accommodation, dining and leisure on one site, a group can combine working sessions with time in the surrounding tea gardens.
Weddings and receptions
Rashni Mahal is the hall the resort names for weddings and family gatherings. Its banquet setup takes up to 500 guests, which covers a full wedding reception. Smaller celebrations, such as engagement dinners or family events, fit in Nowmi Manzil, for 200, or Panshala, for 100. Wedding guests can stay on site in the resort's rooms and suites.
Rooms and capacities
Rashni Mahal is the largest venue, with a banquet setup for up to 500 guests. Nowmi Manzil covers 4,144 square feet, about 385 square meters, with an 8-foot ceiling, and seats 200 for a banquet. Panshala covers 2,820 square feet, about 262 square meters, with a 9-foot ceiling, and seats 100 for a banquet. Dewan-E-Khas groups the business meeting and conference rooms; the resort does not publish their capacities.
Accommodation
The resort has 134 rooms and suites in eight categories, enough to house a large conference group or most of a wedding party on site.
Catering
Five outlets cover group dining. Fowara Dine is the all-day restaurant, with European, Asian and Pan-Asian dishes. Oronno Bilash is a hilltop restaurant serving barbecue with views over the tea gardens, a natural setting for a team dinner. Shahi Dine is the fine-dining room. Cafe Mongal is an all-day cafe, and the Pool Deck Cafe serves juices and mocktails by the pool.
History and setting
The resort is surrounded by green tea gardens in the hills of Srimongal, a region where tea estates cover much of the landscape. The name of the resort also refers to golf on site. The rural setting gives a group a clear break from the city while keeping meeting rooms, dining and accommodation in one place.
Getting there
Srimongal is about four hours by road from Dhaka. The resort can be reached by phone for directions and group transport.
