A Memorable Visit to One of Pakistan’s Newest International Hospitality Destinations
Nouman Afzal recently visited DoubleTree by Hilton Nathiagali, experiencing the newly established international hospitality destination nestled in the scenic Galiyat region.
The visit offered Nouman Afzal an opportunity to experience the property’s architecture, interiors, hospitality environment and mountain-inspired design while exploring one of the most notable additions to Pakistan’s tourism and hospitality landscape.
DoubleTree by Hilton Comes to Pakistan
DoubleTree by Hilton is an internationally recognized upscale hospitality brand operated by Hilton.
The brand made its debut in Pakistan with DoubleTree by Hilton Nathiagali, bringing Hilton’s international hospitality standards to one of the country’s most popular mountain destinations.
Nathiagali is known for its cool climate, lush forests, mountain scenery and proximity to some of the region’s most popular hiking destinations. The arrival of an international hotel brand adds another dimension to the area’s growing tourism appeal.
Nouman Afzal Experiences DoubleTree by Hilton
For Nouman Afzal, the visit was an opportunity to experience the property beyond its reputation as a new international hotel.
The interiors combine contemporary hospitality design with elements inspired by the surrounding mountain environment. Large windows, warm wooden finishes, elegant furnishings and open spaces create a distinctive atmosphere that complements the natural character of Nathiagali.
The photograph from Nouman Afzal’s visit captures this combination of modern design and the traditional charm of the mountain destination.

Why Nathiagali?
Nathiagali has long been one of Pakistan’s preferred mountain destinations.
Its natural landscape, pleasant weather and accessibility from major cities make it a popular choice for families, tourists and travellers seeking a break from urban life.
The area also provides access to attractions and hiking destinations around the Galiyat region, including Mushkpuri Peak, Nathia Gali Hiking Track and Ayubia National Park.
The presence of an international hospitality brand further strengthens Nathiagali’s position as a premium destination for visitors.
The Signature DoubleTree Experience
One of the most recognizable traditions associated with DoubleTree by Hilton is its famous warm chocolate-chip cookie welcome.
For more than three decades, the cookie has represented the brand’s philosophy of creating a warm and welcoming experience for guests.
This small but memorable tradition has become an important part of DoubleTree’s global identity.
Architecture Meets the Mountains
One of the most impressive aspects of the property is how its design interacts with the surrounding environment.
The use of wood, glass, natural light and contemporary architectural elements creates a modern hospitality experience while maintaining a connection with the mountain setting.
For visitors, the experience is not simply about staying in a hotel. It is also about enjoying the destination and the natural environment surrounding the property.
Nouman Afzal’s Interest in Travel and Hospitality
The visit to DoubleTree by Hilton Nathiagali reflects another dimension of Nouman Afzal’s personal interests beyond his professional activities.
His visits to historic, cultural, hospitality and real-estate destinations provide opportunities to experience different parts of Pakistan and understand how tourism, hospitality and modern development are shaping the country.
From the heritage atmosphere of Cecil Murree to the contemporary hospitality experience at DoubleTree by Hilton Nathiagali, these journeys offer a perspective on the diverse character of Pakistan’s northern destinations.
A Destination Worth Experiencing
DoubleTree by Hilton Nathiagali represents the combination of international hospitality, modern architecture and the natural beauty of the Galiyat region.
For Nouman Afzal, the visit was a memorable experience and an opportunity to appreciate how international hospitality concepts can complement Pakistan’s unique tourism destinations.
Nathiagali has always attracted people because of its mountains, forests and peaceful atmosphere. With the arrival of DoubleTree by Hilton, the destination now offers another reason to experience the beauty of the Galiyat region through a modern international hospitality setting.
