Flashman's Hotel is a historic hotel situated on The Mall in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
Flashman's Hotel was founded in 1888 by Charles Thomas Flashman.[1][2]
In 1917, the ownership of the property was transferred to the Associated Hotels of India, led by Mohan Singh Oberoi.[1]
By 1961, after the partition, it was managed by the Associated Hotels of Pakistan.[1] This venture also included Faletti's Hotel, Cecil Hotel, and Deans Hotel and involved stakeholders such as Associated Hotels of India and Oberoi Hotels.[1]
Following the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, the Pakistani government designated properties of the Associated Hotels of Pakistan as enemy assets.[1] These properties were subsequently overseen by the West Pakistan Enemy Property Board.[1]
In 1976, the governance of Flashman's, along with Faletti's, Cecil, and Deans, was transferred to the Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC).[1]
As of 1999, Flashman's remained under PTDC, while the other hotels were privatized.[1]
