Islamabad Serena Hotel is set within 14 acres of landscaped gardens between the Margalla Hills and Rawal Lake, offering a calm, secure base in Pakistan’s green capital. Traditional Islamic architecture, courtyards and fountains give the hotel a resort-like feel, despite its central location close to key government and diplomatic districts.
Inside, 336 rooms and 51 suites blend classic Pakistani design with modern comforts. Handcrafted woodwork, marble details and woven carpets sit alongside high-speed Wi-Fi, well-equipped bathrooms and thoughtful in-room amenities. Many rooms overlook the gardens or hill backdrop, adding to the sense of space and tranquillity throughout.
Guests have a choice of several restaurants and lounges, serving Pakistani specialities and international dishes. A Maisha spa and health club, outdoor pool and extensive meeting and event facilities round out the offering, making Islamabad Serena a popular choice for both business and leisure stays at the top end of the market.

LOCATION
Islamabad Serena Hotel sits in a prime, central position close to the diplomatic and government quarter, with views towards the Margalla Hills. You are within easy driving distance of key embassies, offices, shopping areas and restaurants, yet still enjoy landscaped gardens, quiet courtyards and a calm setting away from busy roads.
GETTING THERE
International flights arrive at Islamabad International Airport, usually via a hub such as Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Istanbul from the UK. From the airport, the drive to Islamabad Serena Hotel typically takes 30–40 minutes by private transfer or taxi, following main highways into the city’s central diplomatic and business district.
WHEN TO GO
Islamabad is a year-round destination, but the most comfortable months are spring and autumn, when days are warm and evenings cooler. March to April and October to November are especially pleasant. Summers can be very hot and humid, while winter nights feel crisp, particularly if you are heading onwards to northern Pakistan.
