Quetta Serena Hotel






Quetta Serena Hotel






Nestled between the awesome Chiltan and Koh-i-Murdar mountains, Quetta makes a dramatic sight. The provincial capital of Balochistan lies 1,692 meters above sea level. This legendary region with its rugged mountains, parched earth, terraced valleys and extremes of temperature, has developed distinct, identifiable and readable patterns of architecture. The curving, rambling mud wall is the basic and omnipresent building element - it defines the streets, the fields, the orchards, the courtyards and the "abode".






Located in the city center and spread over six acres, Quetta Serena Hotel is prominently located on Shahrah-e-Zarghoon in the Cantonment area. The hotel is conveniently accessible from all parts of the country and is linked by air, rail, and road network.






Quetta Serena Hotel has a distinctive identity - a character of its own. It has incorporated many stunning architectural and decorative elements of the local Baloch people - famed for their chivalry and martial prowess. Traditional arts and crafts, decorative patterns and other graphic designs found throughout the plush interior of the hotel are an affirmation of pride in the local culture and aesthetic traditions.






With stunning mountain views on all sides, the hotel is set amid flower-filed courtyards with fountains and water channels around the fruit orchards. It provides guests with first-class amenities and a world of luxury where the service is warm and gracious. From the doormen to the reception, to the Room Service and everything in between, it promises to make each ones stay a memorable one.






Getting to Quetta






Quetta is connected by air to and from Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and Peshawar. The Airport is located just seven miles from the Serena Hotel. Three major highways run through Quetta. The Karachi-Khuzdar-Quetta Highway, the Quetta-Chamman Highway and the Quetta-D.I.Khan Highway. All highways run through tribal areas. The train ride from Karachi to Quetta is very interesting as it goes through the legendary Bolan Pass. Within and around the city yellow cabs, cars, rickshaws and buses can be hired.
