Where to stay in Agrābād
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Beds here answer to business. The offices of the Chittagong Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the World Trade Center and the Chittagong Stock Exchange set the working rhythm of Agrābād, and the rooms around them are built for people with an appointment in one of those buildings rather than a week of touring. Double Mooring wraps around it.
Anyone whose reason for coming is the wider city will do better among Chattogram's older quarters, away from the shipping offices.

About Agrābād
What are the main landmarks in Agrābād?
The Ethnological Museum is the one name on the list. Agrābād carries it alongside the World Trade Center and the Chittagong Stock Exchange, buildings that pull people in for business rather than for a gallery visit, and the Chittagong Chamber of Commerce and Industry keeps the same company. Commerce is the exhibit.
Beyond that, the Port of Chittagong is the working sight that shaped every street around it.
What is the history of Agrābād?
Trade explains Agrābād better than any founding year could, since the sources carry none. Agrābād reaches the register as the commercial quarter of Chattogram, a stretch of the Double Mooring precinct where banks, financial institutions and international firms gathered within reach of the harbour. The wharves are minutes away.
That same register ranks it with Motijheel, Gulshan, Banani and Kawran Bazar among the business centres of Bangladesh.
Where is Agrābād?
Agrābād sits inside the Double Mooring precinct of Chattogram, close to the harbour and joined directly to the Port of Chittagong.
