Luxury Hotels in Islamabad

Find Luxury Accommodations

1. Step 1

   Stay at an international chain hotel. International chain hotels in Islamabad go from mid-range to five-star luxury in the quality of their accommodations. Although you'll give up the chance to experience some local color, you will probably enjoy the familiarity of Western-style perks and amenities.

   Search for a luxury hotel near the Magalla Hills in Islamabad. These hills are an attraction in and of themselves, but the neighborhood is also home to Faisal Masjid, the largest mosque in the world.

4. Step 4

   Consider a day trip to Lahore in nearby Punjab. While Islamabad is the political capital of Pakistan, Lahore is Pakistan's cultural capital. Lahore has an abundance of luxury hotels that cater to the many visitors and conferences which take place in the city.
