Trade-offs and what to know
The hotel shares a building and an address with InterContinental Lusaka. Make sure the booking names the right one.
An earlier Holiday Inn operated in Lusaka before this property, so older references describe a different hotel.
No published meeting-room capacities.
Getting there and getting around
Haile Selassie Avenue runs through the embassy district between Independence Avenue and the Great East Road corridor, so the ministries are walkable and Cairo Road is a short taxi ride. The airport is east on the Great East Road.
Explore the area
The Lusaka National Museum is close, the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Kabwata Cultural Village are short drives, and Munda Wanga Environmental Park lies south of the city. For the wider area see our Lusaka and the Kafue Flats pages.
Before you book
Say Holiday Inn rather than InterContinental, since they share a building. Ask for a long-stay suite if you are here for weeks rather than nights. And confirm meeting capacity if you need it.
