LOCATION: Swat, the land of unique and unparalleled beauty and historic richness, lies in the north of North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan. It is bordered on the north by Chitral and Swat, on the North-West by Dir, on the South by Bunner, on the East by Hazara and on the West by Malakand. Apart from its historical and archaeological interests, Swat can in many ways be linked to Switzerland - a land of rivulets, forests, snow-capped mountains, luscious green fertile valleys and its temperate climate.

Swat is also noted for its exquisite embroidery of unerring geometric patterns of various colors, folk jewellery and hand embroidered Swat caps. Swat honey is one of the best varieties of honey in the world and is drawn from natural flora of the Hindukush ranges which are very rich in mineral wealth. It is also the home of ancient Buddhism and a major center of Gandhara civilization.

ACCOMMODATION: The Hotel’s Colonial based architecture is located in the scenic perfection of the lower Swat valley. Swat Serena is the perfect gateway - a place where time slows down, and life can become a leisurely stroll in 6 acres of rose gardens which blend effortlessly into the landscape and work in gentle harmony with the natural environment.

The rooms, each with an interrupted view over the well maintained gardens and the surrounding spectacular view of Hindukush range, are styled to the traditional Swati concept featuring beadwork, carved wood furniture and all the comforts of unabashed luxuries.
