The Faisalabad Serena Hotel

The Faisalabad Serena Hotel is close to business district on a quiet road surrounded by beautiful gardens. Two kilometers away from the teeming bazaars (markets) of the city, the hotel is a haven of peace and serenity in a city famous for its textile. At times one has to look further than history itself for ideas for a ravishing interior; one can see an indigenous marble floor, Chinioti Sofa with vibrant floral print tapestry made of course in Faisalabad itself. Yellow Ceramic lamp with petal cutouts in one of the sitting areas. It gives the place a majestic touch and altogether an eclectic feel. A huge stunning brass lamp hangs in the lobby offsetting brick walls; floral tiles accentuate doorways around a matching floral print sofa. An elegant polished rosewood table is reflected in the ceramic tiles on the floor. The pulsating maroon, ochre and green print patterned floor is reminiscent of spacious old city homes of Faisalabad.

The courtyard is another treat for one’s senses; the brick floored courtyard is decorated with fragrant, flowering terracotta, and a central fountain fashioned after an old fashioned Persian wheel (rehat). The vibrant colors add to the overall warm and friendly ambiance of the place. The earthy lighting terracotta hanging lamps lend a starlit ambiance to the settings; the brick and marble floor design is a local artisan’s specialty. Anyone who stops by can see burst of tradition throughout the place and the experience is surly magnificent.

Chenab Canal Colony

The city of Faisalabad is not more than a century old. Just hundred years back this region was the center of keeping livestock. This city was irrigated in 1892 when Jhang & Gogera branches were supplied water. The foundation of first ever-residential area was laid in 1895. Its main purpose was the construction of a market. During those days, the area across the river Chenab was called “Sandal Bar”. Before the establishment of Lyallpur City the ancient residential area was called “Pakka Marri” now known as “Pakki Marri”. The caravans used to stay at this place while traveling from Jhang to Lahore. The English travellers of those times wanted to convert this area into a city. In the beginning the small establishment was called “Chenab Canal Colony” which was later named “Lyallpur” after the name of Governor of Punjab Lt. General Sir James B Lyall. The foundation of Lyallpur was laid in 1896. Its famous clock tower was built on a well. It was completed in 1906. The construction of this clock tower was completed under the supervision of Ghulab Khan who belonged to the family who built Taj Mahal in Agra. The clock was brought from Bombay.
