Pakistan Quetta Serena | Urbane Nomads

Overview

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".

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.
