Settle into Arusha Serena Hotel
Nestled on the slopes of Mount Meru beside Lake Duluti, Arusha Serena Hotel is a serene gateway to Tanzania's iconic Northern Safari Circuit. Once a colonial-era coffee farm, the hotel blends timeless charm with tranquil natural beauty. Cottage-style rooms and stone-built reception areas are set among manicured lawns and blooming Bougainvillea. Inside, vintage artefacts, leaded windows and French doors open to expansive lakeview gardens. Guests can unwind in the cosy library, the inviting lounge, or enjoy fireside dining with views of the lake and gardens. The 42 stone cottages are clustered around a central village square, each evoking the charm of a 1920s lakeside retreat with warm red accents, crisp white finishes, tiled floors, leaded windows and French doors opening to garden or lake views. Guests can enjoy Maisha Spa treatments, Swahili and cooking lessons, Lake Duluti nature walks, canoeing, and safari-style conferencing in the Marquee Conference Room overlooking the lake.
