Avari Hotels own and operate properties in Pakistan, Dubai, and Toronto, Canada. It was founded by Dinshaw Avari and is now run by his son Byram Dinshawji Avari, the CEO of Avari Hotels Ltd, and his two sons Dinshaw and Xerxes. Avari's three hotels in Pakistan are the Avari Towers, Karachi, the Avari Lahore, formerly the Hilton, and the older Beach Luxury Hotel.
Beach Luxury Hotel Karachi was founded in 1948. With its Art Deco and an open-air lobby, Beach Luxury Hotel evokes a tropical, Miami-like setting.
Whilst a little dated and not of an international 5-star standard, the Avari-branded hotels are still of a reasonable standard. The properties in Karachi and Lahore have the popular Japanese restaurant, Fujiyama. A new restaurant, Lucknawi, has been added to the dining options in Avari Lahore and it conjures up the rich culinary world of the fabled city of Lucknow.
Portraits of Dinshaw Avari and his wife Khorshed hang in the entrance lobby of the Avari Towers Hotel in Karachi, where the two largest function rooms are named after them - Dinshaw Mahal and Khorshed Mahal.
The Avari Towers Hotel, at 17 floors in the heart of the city, is the tallest hotel in Pakistan. It also has an adjoining Avari Plaza which is home to the headquarters of Unilever Pakistan, representative office of Deutsche Bank, and an Audi showroom.
