Foy's Lake is a man-made lake in Chittagong

Foys Lake is an artificial lake located in Khulshi area near Pahartali railway station in Chittagong.  It is located 6 km away from Zero Point in Chittagong.  It was excavated in 1924 under the supervision of the Assam Bengal Railway Authority and was then known as Pahartali Lake.  The lake was later named after a British engineer who helped design it.  Large in size (336 acres), the lake is formed by the construction of a horizontal dam on a narrow valley between the tops of the hills.  The horizontally constructed dam has created this lake by changing the direction of flow of water coming down from the hills in the northern part of Chittagong city.  Next to Fayez Lake is Batali Hill, the highest hill in Chittagong city.  Many local and foreign tourists visit the lake every year due to its beautiful environment and natural beauty.

1.  Hotel Paramount, Station Road, Chittagong: Just opposite the new train station.  In our opinion this is the best hotel on a budget.  Nice location, spacious corridor (not even a five star hotel with such a large corridor).  The rooms are good too.

2.  Hotel Asian SR, Station Road, Chittagong: This is also a very beautiful hotel.  Tidy, clean hotel. 

3.  Hotel Safina, Enayet Bazar, Chittagong: A medium quality hotel with a family atmosphere.  There is a beautiful restaurant on the roof.  If you sit there at night, you will not want to come. 

4.  Hotel Naba Inn, Road 5, Plot-60, OR Nizam Road, Chittagong.  A little more rented hotel.  However, it is ideal for those who want to stay in Nasirabad / O and Nizam Road area.

5.  Hotel Landmark, 3062 Sheikh Mujib Road, Agrabad, Chittagong: Good hotel to stay in Agrabad.
