Kabul Serena Hotel, luxury hotel in Kabul, Afghanistan
Kabul Serena Hotel is a hotel in downtown Kabul, Afghanistan, spread across three floors with a range of room and suite types. The property also has restaurants, a spa, a gym, a sauna, a garden with a swimming pool, and conference rooms.
The building was first constructed decades ago and reopened after major renovation work in 2005. Since then, it has been one of the few hotels of this type in Kabul and has drawn mainly business travelers.
Afghan textiles and local crafts are displayed throughout the common areas of the hotel, giving the interior a connection to the region. These objects come from different parts of the country and are often noticed by visitors moving between the lobby and the dining areas.
The hotel is close to the airport and can be reached by car in a short time. The entrance has security checkpoints, so it is worth allowing extra time before entering the grounds.
The hotel is part of the Serena group, which runs properties in countries such as Pakistan, Mozambique, and Tanzania. This network is little known but connects a number of destinations that receive few international visitors.
