THE LEGENDARY 'KILI' IS
MAKING HISTORY AGAIN August
2005; After a long and careful renovation, the
Kilimanjaro Hotel Kempinski Dar es Salaam, or
'Kili', as it is fondly known by locals, will
reopen in splendour on 15 August 2005 and will
regain its rightful place as the popular focal
point of the lively capital city of
Tanzania. At the substantial cost of USD
40 million and three years construction work, the
Kilimanjaro Hotel Kempinski has been totally
rebuilt as a modern, eight-storey luxury hotel.
Boasting 180 rooms and suites, each offering
magnificent views over the Indian Ocean, the hotel
also features conference, business and leisure
facilities, making the hotel ideal for business
travellers and leisure guests alike. The hotel's interior designers
have preserved the original structural framework of
the hotel and have re-clothed it with a new
façade, encompassing contemporary interiors
which reflect Dar es Salaam's tropical lifestyle
and the rich colours of Africa. Seven restaurants and bars serve
a wide variety of regional and international
specialities, while the banqueting facilities
comprise 13 function rooms as well as a grand
ballroom which can accommodate up to 600
guests. The superlative leisure and
wellness facilities include a magnificent 20m
wave-free infinity outdoor swimming pool with
private sun deck, as well as an Anantara Health
& Beauty Spa, operated by Mandara. The name
Mandara comes from an ancient Sanskrit legend about
the gods' quest to find the elixir of immortality
and eternal youth. Anantara Spa embraces this
legend, offering unique and exotic spa treatments
which reflect the beauty and spirit of those
ancient times and incorporate the soul and ritual
of Asian culture. Kempinski's prestigious
portfolio comprises over 45 luxurious properties in
Europe, the Middle East, Africa, South America and
Asia. Each offers superior standards of service
combined with a distinctive style reflecting the
individuality of the property and its
location. Kempinski reservations
