With its beautiful, palm-fringed Indian Ocean coastline, vibrant mix of cultures and grand colonial architecture, Mozambique offers abundant opportunities for adventure, experience and discovery. In the heart of all this splendor, the historic Polana Serena Hotel in Maputo has upheld a rich tradition of hospitality since 1922.
Maputo’s premier 5-star hotel address and aptly described as the Grand Dame of African Hotels has long welcomed discerning travelers with a unique combination of colonial ambiance and architecture, modern service, and amenities, and unparalleled personalized attention finely attuned to each guest. The iconic hotel was originally built in the “palace style” nearly one hundred years ago, attracting a guest list that included international diplomats, politicians, and heads of state during World War II. Today, the legend lives on after a meticulous refurbishment that preserved the hotel’s original heritage whilst seamlessly introducing modern comforts and amenities to ensure its place as one of the leading heritage hotels in Mozambique and throughout the continent.
