Hunza Serena Hotel is a contemporary five-star hotel in Karimabad, Hunza, set against a line of dramatic peaks including Rakaposhi, Ultar and Lady Finger. Perched above the valley and close to the historic Silk Route, it combines modern architecture with stone, timber and local design touches, creating a strong sense of place alongside international standards.
Inside, 82 rooms and suites are designed for comfort and views. Deluxe Rooms, Heritage Suites and Executive Suites all offer heating, Wi-Fi, well-appointed bathrooms and picture windows or balconies looking across orchards, villages and mountains. Interiors use regional textiles and woodwork in a clean, understated style, so the focus remains on light and landscape.
The hotel’s public areas include a main restaurant, lobby lounge and terraces where guests can enjoy Pakistani, international and Hunza-inspired dishes. Thoughtful service, landscaped gardens, a small spa and fitness facilities help make this a polished base for exploring Hunza and the wider Karakoram region.

LOCATION
Hunza Serena Hotel is set above Karimabad in central Hunza, with wide views of the valley, orchards and snow-capped peaks. You are close to Baltit Fort, village lanes and small cafés, yet within a secure, self-contained compound that feels calm and separate from the main road and bazaar below.
GETTING THERE
Most travellers reach Hunza by road, usually driving the Karakoram Highway from Gilgit, which takes around three to four hours depending on stops and conditions. Private vehicles or pre-arranged transfers are strongly recommended. The journey is part of the experience, with frequent viewpoints over the Hunza River and surrounding mountains.
WHEN TO GO
The best time to stay in Hunza is roughly April to October. Spring blossom and autumn colours are especially beautiful, with clear views and comfortable temperatures. July and August are busier but still rewarding. Winter brings snow, cold nights and more limited services, so only suits well-prepared, flexible travellers.
