Since 2011, I can quite honestly count on one hand the properties that I've been lucky enough to feel so immersed in, that my hotel review video turns out longer than 15 minutes ... and the Islamabad Serena Hotel has just joined them! This 5-star deluxe rated hotel is the only one to be found with this status in all of Pakistan. It's an icon of the city, a haven for celebs, dignitaries, and the country's jet setters. It is also home to a caring and guest-centric staff who stay for years, pamper everyone equally (from us every day guests to Pakistan's top politicians or sports stars), and have the know-how to be discreet and invisible yet always there to make each stay 1,000% memorable.

In this video you'll find a tour of everything from my room, mouth-watering glimpses into their signature restaurants, a rare peek behind the curtains of the spa (off-limits for video normally but I was granted special permission), and so much more. Serena Hotel Islamabad
