Holiday Inn Lusaka rebranding to Southern Sun Ridgeway to Keep up with an Ever-Changing Lusaka

                                                                                         

Southern Sun is proud to announce the rebranding of the Ridgeway in Lusaka, Zambia as of 1 October 2008.
Previously known as Holiday Inn Lusaka, the new Southern Sun Ridgeway will welcome business and leisure travellers with the unique “southern warmth” for which Southern Sun is renowned. It’s conveniently located in Lusaka's business district, close to embassies and government offices and only 27 km from the airport.
Lusaka is one of Africa’s fastest growing cities and is often compared to New York in terms of energy and excitement – simply with a uniquely African flavour. This 70km square space is always a buzz of activity with people of all ages, races and nationalities calling it home. As Zambia’s capital city, Lusaka is a hub for business, leisure and excitement and the city is undergoing a major facelift. An eclectic mix of the effects of a colonial heritage, socialism and now democracy, the city is now finding its own identity for the first time. Modern shopping malls are intermixed with traditional markets; local shebeens stand alongside modern nightclubs and some of world’s best restaurants compete with local fishmongers and fruit sellers.
The Southern Sun Ridgeway offers guests the ideal base from which to get to know a real African city or to conduct a lucrative business deal. Set in attractive, landscaped gardens, the hotel offers a relaxing environment where business and leisure travellers alike can soak up the African sun. One of Lusaka’s main appeals is its excellent climate, with very little rainfall and warm, bright days all year round. Guests can take full advantage of this beautiful weather by relaxing besides the sparkling pool and taking the occasional dip to cool off. Guest rooms are also tastefully furnished and offer every modern facility that one needs during a stay in Lusaka.
The Musuku restaurant has a scenic view across the gardens and guests can enjoy light poolside meals. The well stocked and modern pub is the perfect setting for a casual lunch or pre-dinner drink.
Business travellers can take advantage of the secretarial services within the hotel lobby, while Zango offers a host of conference services.
In the hospitality industry, it is said that a great hotel is only as good as its people. And this remains true to this day. The Southern Sun Ridgeway has a terrific sense of history and is lucky enough to be staffed by energetic and friendly people that call Lusaka home. These dedicated and passionate staff members will deliver the same, top quality service that Southern Sun is known for, but always retain the hotel’s heritage. This mix of heritage and service is anchored by high international standards simply delivered with a local touch, the Zambian way.
Join Southern Sun in celebrating the rich heritage at the Southern Sun Ridgeway Lusaka, where the staff look forward to ensuring that each and every guest feels that “they’ve truly arrived”.
