River Side Hotel & Resort is a 120-suite, 5-star facility riverside resort being developed on more than 5 acres of owned land at Chatul, Baistila — just 5 minutes from Sylhet International Airport. The project integrates luxury hospitality, eco-tourism, event facilities, river recreation, and a dedicated boat club into a single, cohesive business model.
We are building this as an honest, asset-first project. The land is owned outright and registered. The revenue model is diversified across nine streams. The financial projections are presented conservatively — based on stabilised, year-one mature operations, not peak-season best cases.
Not Just a Hotel — a Long-Term Tourism Ecosystem
River Side Hotel & Resort is designed to be Sylhet's landmark tourism destination: a place where guests return season after season, where families spend full days, where businesses hold conferences, and where river tourism connects visitors to Bangladesh's most extraordinary natural sites.
Luxury hospitality: 120 premium suites with river-view balconies and 5-star facilities
Eco-tourism experiences: Direct access to Ratargul Swamp Forest, Jaflong, Tanguar Haor
Event & convention business: Weddings, corporate retreats, large conferences
River recreation: Sylhet Boat Club, floating restaurant, scenic sunset tours
Long-term appreciation: Land asset and brand value growth for investors
The Location Alone Is a Competitive Advantage
No comparable riverside resort property in Sylhet sits this close to the airport, this close to major road access, and this close to the region's most visited natural attractions simultaneously.

300 Feet: Main 4-lane Highway Access
