The Sheraton Karachi stands at the site where the Palace Hotel once stood

The major hotels of Karachi have apparently always been within a few blocks of each other in the center of the city. Today the Sheraton is across of the Pearl Continental and both are just around the corner from what was the Metropole, another major hotel that serviced many foreign visitors to the city in the first decades after Independence.
The Palace Hotel was torn down in the 1970s, and was apparently built after World War I. The neon sign for Palace is on the dome, and the Pakistan flag seems to be flying above the building, suggesting the image dates to the 1950s. |
