By far the fanciest - and strangely the cheapest - of the fancy-shmancy hotels in Lusaka...
Traditionally popular with young backpackers, when we visited it was being renovated...
Remarkably, this is the only hotel in the city centre. It's the longest-standing hotel in Lusaka and has almost top-end facilities for a midrange price.
With an interesting second-storey bar on stilts, this place is a good option for a quick walk to Manda Hill Shopping Centre. All rooms have private bathroom, fan and TV, and rates include breakfast.
This is convenient, popular and features several Western-style restaurants and bars. Discounted rates of about US$105/US$130 are possible with little prompting. Facilities include a business centre, swimming pool and travel desk.
This is one of Lusaka's finest options. The bungalows in this private wildlife reserve are very comfortable, and the gardens and pool are lovely. It offers horse riding and the chance to learn to play (horse) polo.
Offers small, comfortable and well-furnished rooms - if you like 70s furniture - within walking distance of the city centre. Rooms all have private bathroom, fan and TV; breakfast is included in rates.
This newcomer and outsider is just as good as its more expensive cousins, though it is on the outskirts of town.
Signposted 5km south of Great East Rd and 17km east of the Manda Hill Shopping Centre. If you don't want to self-cater, there's a bar and restaurant.
This is not well-known yet - even by taxi drivers. The rooms in this motel-style complex are devoid of charm, but they also have no dirt or mosquitoes. Importantly, it offers the best value for a midrange hotel in central Lusaka.
About 12km south of the city centre. The camp site is grassy and the security is good, while the swimming pool and bar (which sells snacks) are nice touches.
A fairly new kid on the block, this is the best value for a backpacker passing through Lusaka as it's clean, safe and cheap.
