Southern Sun Ridgeway Lusaka

The fact that Lusaka had a Holiday Inn came as a surprise to me. I was so surprised that, though I was not staying there, I took a tour of the lobby and asked to see one of the rooms. Sure enough! Pretty standard fair (all Holiday Inn's look alike ... for the most part).

The hotel complex is complete with bar and restaurant and the rooms appeared very standard. What was not standard about the hotel was the price, which was at a premium. I found nothing that would compel me to stay at the Holiday Inn Lusaka, but if you are looking for a hotel without much personality (but safe) during your stay in Lusaka, this might be a good bet.

Unique Quality: Nothing

From my experience in Lusaka this is one of the best hotels to stay in. Centrally located, large and comfortable rooms and other amenities, such as pool, sauna and gardens around it.
They even have Baby Nile Crocodiles in a pond in the courtyard of the hotel...

Unique Quality: A travel agent, Avis Car Hire and British Airways ticket office as well as a Curio shop are also part of the hotel.

Directions: The hotel is 27 km away from the Airport and only 4 km to all the business areas at Cnr Church Road & Independence Avenue, Lusaka
