Welcome to Arusha Serena Hotel, Resort & Spa!Unlike any other hotel in Tanzania, the Arusha Serena Hotel offers authentic, bespoke experiences that stir the traveller’s soul while showcasing the breathtaking tranquillity of its surroundings. Set among the woodland slopes of Mount Meru at the edge of Lake Duluti, there’s no better destination for soaking in the beauty and magnificence of the Tanzanian “Northern Safari Circuit.” Discover Arusha Serena Hotel, Resort & Spa - a place you must experience at least once in your lifetime.
The ambience of our Arusha hotel is warmly reminiscent of our origins as a colonial era coffee farm, beginning with the welcoming stone-built reception area and extending to cottage-style rooms neatly arranged among landscaped lawns and the colourful banks of Bougainvillea. Traces of our heritage present themselves in elegant, country-manor interiors featuring unique artefacts, leaded windows and French doors opening to extensive lake view gardens. Social areas within our Arusha hotel include a library, a lounge and a restaurant offering an enchanting wood fireplace and lake and garden views.
Rooms
The Standard Room welcomes in the beauty of the hotel's surroundings with glorious views of Lake Duluti or the hotel’s extensive gardens. Enjoy the warmth and elegance of these rooms well-appointed with exquisite details such as a marble bathroom, large and comfortable beds and French doors leading out to the lakeside gardens.
Dining
Each meal at Arusha Serena Hotel, Resort & Spa is a creative journey, meticulously crafted to showcase the natural beauty and abundant resources of the surrounding landscape. Fancy starting your morning with an English breakfast by Lake Duluti? Or perhaps sundowner cocktails and snacks in a safari chair by the water? Or a romantic dinner by the restaurant’s blazing wood fireplace? Whichever you choose, the hotel will welcome you to savour cuisine and scenery combined in a manner that ensures a dining experience to remember.
Recreation
Share in tailor-made experiences thoughtfully designed to enrich your visit. Allow your hosts to arrange an English breakfast on the Lake Duluti shoreline.
