A city-landmark even before Zambia was born, the Southern Sun Ridgeway has been the hotel of choice for in-the-know professionals and NGOs, Lusaka-locals and off-the-beaten-track exploring for over 60 years. Service-first, best-for-business and understated classic-comfort rooms in a quiet corner of Zambia’s capital, Southern Sun Ridgeway creates a sense of home whether you’re Africa experienced, or you’ve just arrived.

Rooms  at our Lusaka hotel are quietly comfortable, understated, and great-sleep equipped with blackout curtains, soft and spacious king size beds (or two singles) and hot showers or baths. Feel-at-home comforts include complimentary WiFi , flat-screen DStv and 24-hour room service.

Big green gardens, pool and palm trees, in-house gym, on-site bank and airline offices create an inner-city escape with CBD convenience. 30 minutes from the international airport and moments from embassies, business headquarters and cultural highlights makes for easy exploring and simple arrivals. Lusaka is a gateway to Zambia experiences including two of the continent’s largest mammal migrations, the ‘Smoke That Thunders’ and the Copperbelt.

Weddings, meetings and events, are looked after by the events team and supported from concept to completion. A choice of five venues, space for 2 to 200, on-site parking, restaurant quality catering and a setting that is as photogenic as it is productivity-enhancing, makes it one of Lusaka’s leading conference centres.

Musuku restaurant, next to the pond-courtyard with its resident reed-home weavers and baby crocodiles, is a Lusaka central destination for dinner dates, business breakfasts and ladies lunches. Specialising in a taste-of-home wherever you’ve arrived from, local menu favourites like Nshima, Kafue bream and Mosi beer are at home next to made-to-order pizza-perfection, grill classics and imported bar selections.

TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence accommodation, a heritage of service, and silver awarded eco-initiatives make it easy to make yourself at home at Southern Sun Ridgeway, Lusaka.
