By far the 'swishest' hotel in Islamabad, the Marriott is the top choice for business people, diplomats and welathy tourists (i.e not my type!). A sea of brass, marble and five-star hotel clientelle.
We were treated to 'high-tea' and dinner here by our trekking company's owner. Another bouns was being allowed to use the swimming pool as guests of our trekking company friend, we got pool passes for about Rs. 500 but it was so worth it after a day of walking the sultry heat and dust of the City. Mind you, the pool was 30 degress, with the air temperature 38 degrees (celcius - that's HOT for any who aren't familiar with celcius) so the swim was only marinally refreshing! As for the accommodation itself - not really sure what it's like, but looking at the Marriott website, you won't get much change from US$200
