“What I appreciate here is the attempt to blend luxury with local Zambian culture, though the execution seems uneven, judging by reports of cramped standard rooms alongside the hotel's broader upscale ambitions. The location suits business travelers well, near major offices, but the curated local experiences and varied dining options, including al fresco choices overlooking the pool, are what could set this place apart if consistently delivered. The event spaces are a solid draw, and the dedicated club level adds an exclusive touch.”
