Mövenpick Hotel Karachi (formerly known as Sheraton Karachi) is a five-star hotel in Downtown Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

The site of Movenpick Karachi was occupied the Killarney Hotel in the 1930s which was owned by Karachi's Jewish business community,[7] which was demolished in the 1970s and the Sheraton Hotel opened in 1982.[8][9][10]

Mövenpick Hotels took over the hotel in January, 2014 from Starwood for fifteen-years with a plan to invest $30 million to renovate hotel by 2017. The renovation also included the construction of an anti-blast wall around the hotel, which completed in mid-2014.[11][12]
