Crossroads Hotel
Lilongwe's newest top-end hotel has all the facilities you'd expect and the rooms are just that little bit more swanky than those of its rivals...
Protea Hotel Ryalls
Very classy old-fashioned place, with a grand entrance hall and sophisticated rooms decorated with old black-and-white photos and African artefacts. It's also home to the superb eatery, 21 Grill on Hanover.
Sunbird Mount Soche Hotel
Popular with business travellers, it also has all the required facilities although is not quite as swish as Ryalls Protea Hotel. Ask for a room at the back - they have balconies with grand views over the hills.
Sunbird Capital Hotel
This hotel with its leafy compound and good facilities attracts top-end tourists, business travellers and diplomats. Superior rooms are nice but the standard ones are looking a bit rough around the edges and the staff aren't that friendly...
Annie's Lodge Lilongwe Area 10
Annie' Area 47's classier and more sedate cousin has a variety of tranquil rooms, some with private bathroom. There's also an inviting TV lounge, and the restaurant serves inventive meals (USaround US$5 to USaround US$11)...

The most popular place in town for those on a budget. There's plenty of space for campers, as well as dorms and double and twin A-frame chalets. Staff can give you info and tips on travelling in Malawi...
Lingadzi Inn
It's a little faded and the bar and restaurant are a tad poky, but the rooms are comfortable and there's a picturesque, sprawling garden out the back. Rates don't include breakfast.
