Taj Pamodzi Hotel

Lusaka


While not quite in the same league as its opulent hotels in India, Taj Pamodzi is instead more your classy business hotel. But it's a solid choice nevertheless, featuring plush bedding and top-quality amenities, from the slippers to skin-care products and green garden views from its rooms.

A lavish breakfast buffet is served in one of the hotel's restaurants – the other, Steaks & Grills, does candlelit dinner outside with live music most nights – and drinks can be had at the bar accompanied by the tinkling keys of a piano. Guests have access to the full service gym – racquetball anyone? – and spa out back next to a lovely pool and patio area.
