Islamabad Serena Hotel

The Islamabad Serena Hotel stands at the foot of the Northern Hills in six acres of landscaped gardens in the center of Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. The Moorish and Mughal architecture and interiors of this exceptional hotel reflect the expression and cultural heritage of the local craftsmen who built it.

Developed to the highest standards using indigenous materials such as hand-hewn marble, hand-woven fabrics and individually painted wooden ceiling panels, the hotel beautifully combines tradition withthe latest modern technology. The 197 rooms are all elegantly furnished in Punjabi and Swati decor, and offer magnificent views of the Margalla Hills and Rawal Lake. Each room features flat screen televisions with satellite and in-house video channels, direct-dial phones, high-speed internet, radio, electronic safes, air-conditioning and modern bathrooms with separate shower and tubs.

There are five excellent restaurants within the hotel. Zamana, the restaurant and café, serves local and continental cuisine, and Rakaposhi, the ice cream and pastry parlour, is a favorite with hotel guests. Baradari, the barbecue restaurant, is set in the beautiful gardens and during the warm evenings you may choose to enjoy Pakistani specialities grilled in a tandoori oven while local musicians entertain you with traditional folk music.
