Anything More To Know - History of Falettis Hotel Lahore
Faletti’s Hotel Lahore has a long history. The hotel was originally constructed by Italian person named Giovanni Faletti in 1880.
There was a clear demand at that time because many British and foreigners used to visit India during the British Raj. Europeans at that time had developed a fascination with India to explore the land which had completely different heritage, culture, cuisine and languages from their own.
This was a very exciting aspect for other nations to explore. In addition, since British were ruling, foreigners found it very safe to visit India for excursions.
Mr. Faletti capitalized this situation with his business venture by setting up a high end hotel in Lahore. Since then the Hotel was named after its founder Mr. Faletti and became the leading hotel for many politicians, foreigners as well as celebrities.
The famous names who stayed in the Faletti’s Hotel Lahore are Quaid –i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Justice A.R. Cornelius, Hollywood personalities like Ava Gardner, Marlon Brando, Director George Cukor, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and there were many more who stayed in the hotel. Ava Gardner stayed for 3 months in 1955 in room 55. Mohammad Ali Jinnah stayed in Room 18 and A. R.
Cornelius stayed in Room 2. The rooms where these big personalities stayed have been renamed with their names. The list of the famous personalities and their photographs are also placed on the hotel lobby walls.
The Faletti’s Hotel Lahore, after the partition was handed over to the Government of Pakistan. Pakistan formed a separate organization Associated Hotels of Pakistan (AHP).
Faletti’s Hotel and few more hotels (Flashman in Rawalpindi, Dean in Peshawar Cecil in Murree) came under the governance of the AHP company.
Later the organization transferred the operations of the hotels to Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC). It was a long 50 year lease with only 1 million rupees to be paid on annual basis.
In the later years, in 1997, the Government of Pakistan decided to privatize the hotels. They first opened the bidding process for Faletti’s Hotel Lahore in 2002 and then again in 2003 to attract more private parties.
The hotel was taken over by Four Brothers Marketing (Pvt Ltd) for 1.211 billion rupees. Later, in 2006, Four Brother Marketing sold the hotel to one US Company Morganti Group based in Abu Dhabi in UAE.
Later the ownership was again transferred to one local business group in Pakistan from Rahim Yar Khan, Chaudhary Munir and sons.
The current lease owners of the hotel are Chaudhary Munir & Sons, who spent good amount of money to completely renovate the hotel and revive its old historic prestige.
It has now come up as one of the most sought after 5 star hotel in Pakistan. It was eventually reopened in 2013 after several years of closure.
