Gilgit Serena Hotel

About this hotel

Set in landscaped gardens in Jutial, Gilgit Serena Hotel has welcomed travellers since 1985 and remains the region’s most established city hotel, blending traditional Gilgit-Baltistan architecture with modern comfort. The Karakoram range is visible from much of the property, and the hotel sits just 10 minutes from Gilgit Airport, making it the standard first and last-night stay for anyone connecting through Gilgit before heading to Hunza, Skardu or Naltar Valley.

Rooms range from Standard Rooms to the Rakaposhi and Shimshal Executive Suites, both featuring private balconies with mountain views. The hotel’s restaurant serves local and international cuisine with 24-hour room service, and the on-site tour desk can arrange car hire and day trips to Naltar Valley.

Guests particularly value the garden setting and the airport shuttle — couples and business travellers alike rate the location highly for its balance of comfort and convenience in a city otherwise light on international-standard hotels.
