Southern Sun Ridgeway Lusaka, located in Lusaka in Zambia, has revealed its $7-million revamp. 

According to a statement released by the hotel brand, the newly-unveiled rooms and public areas add a "fresh, contemporary design to one of Zambia’s oldest hotels, which opened in 1953."

General Manager, Paul Norman said of the hotel makeover: “As part of our continued programme of reinvesting in our products, we have given our accommodation an elegant makeover. A city landmark, Southern Sun Ridgeway has been the hotel of choice for business professionals, NGOs, Lusaka-locals and adventure seekers over the decades.”

Travellers can expect rich copper and gemstone inspired rooms. A kaleidoscope of colours, including shades of emeralds, amethyst, aquamarine, tourmaline, garnet and rose quartz. The country’s heritage is further reflected through the distinct pattern carpets and wall art.
