Hungwe Bar is situated on the second mezzanine level and offers Karaoke every Thursday. Aviator’s Bar is a traditional English style pub with big screens for watching sports. The Gazebo Bar is open all day – situated in the main ground floor lobby and a great get-together place.
Unique live cooking experience in the Kombahari Restaurant
The hotel also has three top quality restaurants available for hotel residents or for visitors. The restaurants are overseen by the Executive Chef Thomas Koke who has many years of experience at leading hotels and resorts across the world. La Patisserie is situated in the main lobby of the hotel and offers teas and coffees as well as a selection of both sweet and savoury pastries and light meals. It’s an elegant venue that’s great for business meetings or getting together with friends and family. Harvest Garden has a great view of the pool area and offers an African themed menu – popular with both locals and international travellers and also a Western menu, so there is something for every palette. They offer buffet style meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s also the preferred venue for conference delegates to enjoy meals during their programmes. Kombahari offers a fusion of African and Asian styled meals prepared right before your eyes. It’s a great experience to witness ‘live cooking’ as the chefs prepare your meal in front of you!

The hotel has a business centre on the first mezzanine floor which is convenient for residents needing office facilities as well as nine conference rooms (on the hotel-side) spread across the first and second floor mezzanines ranging from large rooms which can take up to 500 guests to more intimate venues which can take up to 10 guests. La Chandelle is a favourite conference venue offering both a bar and a buffet service for delegates. As a city hotel rather than a resort venue the hotel relies more on conferencing as a major attraction.
