President Walmont Hotel

Lilongwe


This five-star Peermont hotel offers an air-conditioned welcome in its Wild Orchid bar-restaurant and reception decorated with cute model cars. It soars 12 floors and houses 130 rooms, spa, gym, hair salon, gift shop and terrace bar. The setting, in Umodzi Park convention centre, is a little sterile, but the rooms compensate with their winning city views and light, contemporary feel.

Umodzi Park is off Chilembwe Rd.
