Hilton pulled put of Lahore in 1980s early 90s, not sure If Avari Lahore became Ramada, their Karachi one was run as Ramada Renaissance Hotel after Hilton contract failed even before the hotel opened, it was still under construction at the time.

From my understanding, no Foreign Airline Crew stay in Pak. TG utilise the same crew on the return flight to BKK. The exception is if there is a delay in flight (due to Fog). With BA's resumption in June 2019, they may bring double-crew or stay at Serena ISB.

With Swiss Hotels opening across the road from LHE - this will be great at attracting more Foreign Airlines - such as LH, CX and even SQ...
