The Nishat Hotel Johar Town
An indoor pool inside Pakistan's biggest mall complex
About this hotel
The Nishat Hotel Johar Town describes itself as a city within a city, built directly alongside Emporium Mall, Pakistan's largest shopping centre, and the Nishat Banquets, among the most spacious banquet halls in the country. The indoor pool sits at the centre of the property's leisure offering, giving guests a swim option regardless of Lahore's weather, whether that's summer heat or winter cold. Rooms are air-conditioned with a flat-screen TV, and some carry a seating area alongside a private bathroom with bathrobes and slippers for guests who want a fuller sense of comfort after a day out. A free shuttle service connects the property to Walton Airport, 8 km away, a notably shorter run than the 15 km distance to Allama Iqbal International Airport, and the on-site restaurant handles both casual dining and event catering given the adjacent banquet space.

Our take
This suits travelers attending a wedding, conference or event at the adjacent Nishat Banquets who want an indoor pool available without weather concerns, as well as shopping-focused guests who want to walk directly into Emporium Mall. Travelers seeking a quiet, low-key stay may find the scale of this property, built around a major event venue, busier than they'd prefer. The Walton Airport shuttle is a genuine convenience most competitors in this list don't offer.
- ✓Confirm which airport your shuttle serves, this property's free shuttle goes to Walton Airport specifically
- ✓Book well ahead if visiting during a wedding season, the adjacent banquet halls draw large events
- ✓Use the indoor pool in the early morning before the mall crowds pick up
Why we love it
