A visit to Islamabad Serena Hotel is more than just a comfortable stay at the only 5-star deluxe hotel in Pakistan, an affiliated member of the Leading Hotels of the World. It is a vivid immersion into the culture, heritage and lifestyles of Pakistan’s capital, a relatively undiscovered city boasting exhilarating scenery as well as some of the most colourful musical and culinary traditions in the world. Our Islamabad hotel is tucked into a peaceful, 14-acre garden setting between the Margalla Hills and Rawal Lake, framed by Islamic architecture and al fresco terraces and pavilions. Remaining faithful to traditional aesthetics with furniture and design flourishes handcrafted by local artisans, its timeless interiors have been curated to preserve a superb level of comfort. The experience is enhanced by outstanding Moorish architecture and ambience that revive old Islamic civilization and reflect the cultural heritage of Pakistan. Relax in style with the hotel's diverse collection of rooms and suites, where the locally inspired décor is seamlessly infused with modern amenities to ensure a stay in Islamabad that will be opulent yet eminently inviting. Pamper yourself at Maisha Spa, a beautifully designed haven of serenity with signature therapies such as a basil mint scrub or an innovative Thalgo facial, then indulge in an invigorating ice shower before enjoying a healthy lunch by the pool. Views of the Islamabad skyline and tree-draped hills in the distance create a dramatic backdrop from the rooftop pool. Al-Maghreb is our exotic restaurant, showcasing creative Moroccan and Lebanese cuisine. Savour delightful water garden views while dining at Zamana, or visit Dawat to sample enticing treats whilst listening to traditional instruments and live Ghazals. Discover a gateway to the authentic Islamabad at Islamabad Serena Hotel.

Incredibly kind, high performing and positive staff. The hotel facilities and accommodations are starting to feel a bit dated but even considering that fact it’s a cool place with a special feel that’s worth staying at. It’s a landmark place and if one stays in Islamabad it’s worth the extra $$$. Ps - The musicians they have playing throughout the hotel are awesome. True artists and performers.

Best Hotel in Pakistan. The room and bathroom size was generous. Really appreciated the complimentary tray of nuts and other nibbles. The TV size and selection of channels was also a great feature. The breakfast spread is enormous and caters to all tastes. Though dinner choice is limited and the hotel can do with couple more restaurant options

Long gone are the glory days of this hotel. We were two couples and were staying in 2 executive suites. One would expect better rooms and better services but it was totally the opposite. The room I got was a suite, but totally untidy and dates. The carpets were rough and unclean, the bathroom was old and not maintained. The polish on the bedroom and wardrobes and other furniture was coming off. The view was terrible outside the window. It was like a garage view. The view from inside the bedroom was of the lobby. How absolutely funny is that. The room number was 104 0r 101 I have forgotten now. The mini bar was supposedly free but had like 3 drinks inside it and that too the ones no body would drink. The breakfast in the room was complimentary and French toast I ordered was poorly made and not of the quality and taste as a good 5 star hotel would serve. Top of that who serves canned juices for breakfast. In this day and age and in Pakistan where you can still find plenty of Oranges in February, they would serve you canned juice in breakfast. And if you want fresh then you need to pay for it. Excellent rules !! The sofas and the furniture was dated and old. The light switches in the bedroom are like vintage, press one button and God knows which light comes and which goes off. It’s a nightmare The AC was not working so a technician was called in to fix the AC of this ancient room. When the technician opened the filters of the AC it was so dusty and bad. So much for staying in a suite room. The other couple my cousin just got married and stayed in another suite that was in another wing and that too was equally bad. Their bedroom AC didn’t work at all and they had to sleep like that. “It was their wedding night” We expected better courtesies for the wedding room but all they did was put a sad bouquet and a tiny slice of cake. Which was not so bad in taste tbh. So yeah I will give them that. My suggestion to Serena hotel would be that they really need to update and modernise their rooms. I have stayed there before many times but this was really bad. I would never come back again unless their rooms are updated and modernised. They charge so much and other smaller hotels are doing much better in terms of everything. Please Improve

I would 100% recommend to Japanese visitors, because seeing the other hotels services I don’t feel Japanese must be having troubles. I was so disappointed and embarrassed by the stay of other hotels around the country and even Islamabad. But finally we found I place we can go and feel relaxed . Also we can suggest to other friends.

I have always been a fan of the Aga Khan's hotels, but had only visited the early CIGA Hotels in Italy, and the African Serena Hotels in Maputo, Kigali, Kivu, etc. Now I finally stayed at the Serena Islamabad and I definitely wasn't dissapointed. Fantastic oriental atmosphere paired with Western management discipline. Extensive gardens to walk through. Two beautiful and huge heated outdoor swimming pools. A perfect Technogym. Excellent cuisine throughout. Well trained staff. Luxury amenities, like Baccarat chandeliers. An art gallery. Amazing attention to details, like the multi socket electrical plugs, the personal iPhone, the TV-channels, the notepad in the bathroom, the quality water. Hope to visit again soon.

An extremely comfortable stay where the quality of the service requires a special mention. The airport pick and drop service and the portable internet device for continuous connectivity during the stay were very well appreciated.
