Holiday Inn - Lusaka by IHG

It’s very safe and on point

Overall, this is a high-quality hotel that offers good value for money. It has been recently renovated to a standard that far exceeds several 5-star properties in Lusaka. The room, in particular, was very nice, modern, spacious, and in great condition. The bathroom, however, was quite small and a little disappointing. Outside of the room, the rest of the property is exactly what you would expect from a solid 4-star hotel. It won't take your breath away but will meet your expectations. The restaurant food is well-priced, tastes fine, and offers a decent variety. A major highlight is the gym; it is exceptional and easily one of the best I’ve used in Lusaka, as it shares facilities with the luxury 5-star InterContinental next door.

I travel to Lusaka regularly and have stayed at almost every 5-star property in the city. This hotel beats most of them. Especially when it comes to the rooms, and offers much better value for money since it charges 4-star rates (even if it is on the pricier end for a 4-star). It is worth noting that overall hotel standards in Lusaka are notoriously poor, but by local standards, this is one of the very few properties I would recommend.
