City Lodge Lusaka is an eight-room guest house on Suez Road in Rhodes Park, the central residential and office district just north-east of the Lusaka business quarter. It is unrelated to the South African City Lodge chain, which does not operate in Zambia.
Best for
Visitors with business in the city centre or the government quarter who would rather walk than sit in traffic. Not for travellers who want a pool and a restaurant: this is a small, plain guest house.
Location
6942 Suez Road, Rhodes Park, Lusaka. The Anglican Cathedral of the Holy Cross is about 170 m away, the Addis Ababa Roundabout about 450 m and St Ignatius Catholic Church about 630 m. Kenneth Kaunda International Airport is roughly 24 km east, about 35 minutes by car.

Trade-offs and what to know

Eight rooms, so book early.
The name collides with a well-known South African hotel chain. This is an independent Zambian guest house.
Getting there and getting around
Rhodes Park adjoins the central business district, so Cairo Road, the ministries and the cathedral are all within walking distance in daylight. The airport is east on the Great East Road; take a taxi.
Explore the area
The Lusaka National Museum, the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Kabwata Cultural Village are all close, and the Sunday craft market at Arcades is a short drive. For the wider area see our Lusaka and the Kafue Flats pages.
Before you book
Confirm there is no breakfast and plan accordingly. Ask about internet. And make sure the booking is for the Zambian guest house rather than the chain of the same name.
