The South Asian country of Bangladesh has too often been in the news for all the wrong reasons. The densely populated little nation which borders India has one of the highest poverty rates in the world. Often falling prey to floods, cyclones and monsoons, Bangladesh has been the subject of various high profile relief efforts over the years, including the late-Beatle George Harrison's famous "Concert for Bangladesh." Yet in spite of all the negative publicity Bangladesh is a tropical country right on the ocean filled with exotic wildlife as well as Buddhist and Muslim temples and mosques dating back to the 15th century. The capital city, Dhaka, is also home to several excellent hotels. - The Pan Pacific Sonargaon is a modern and well-equipped hotel located in the center of Dhaka.
