The
Mövenpick Royal Palm Hotel Dar es Salaam in
Tanzania has recently completed an extensive USD 4
million refurbishment. From the impeccable service,
the exquisite cuisine to the stylishly redesigned
rooms and suites, public areas, conference centre
and restaurants, no effort has been spared to
enhance the comfort, convenience and enjoyment of
the guests. This leading 5-star hotel for corporate
and leisure travellers epitomises the finest
standards of hospitality, and remains the hotel of
choice for top government officials and
presidential delegations.
The
warmth of the welcome begins from the moment one
first steps into the extensively renovated lobby
area, which is infused with African designs,
textures and carvings.
The
Executive level on the 7th floor offers 24 spacious
Executive rooms and Junior Suites with a stunning
look and an African colour scheme. The Executive
Lounge, which is for the exclusive use of 7th floor
guests, has been doubled in size, and now offers a
private buffet breakfast area, a new bar facility,
a private meeting room and two additional lounges,
one for smokers and one for non-smokers, each
equipped with a flat-screen television, as well as
butler service.
The
Serengeti Restaurant has also undergone a facelift
and offers guests varied three-course buffets in
cool indoor surroundings. The adjoining Kibo Bar
continues its ever-popular live-cooking buffet at
lunch hour. An à la carte menu and light
snacks are available throughout the day and
evening.
