More than just a hotel and including 47 guest rooms and suites, it offers three restaurants and bars with culinary delights and a wide variety of drinks from all corners of the world. The hotel is a haven for relaxation and fitness thanks to its spa, gym and swimming pools. It also serves as a socialising and networking hub with lounges, a rooftop bar, private dining and entertaining spaces, as well as a calendar filled with music, art, fashion and business events. Not to forget its unique, highly creative coworking hub with private workspaces, meeting and conference rooms, and hot-desking facilities.
Latitude 0° offers African hospitality at its best, with a modern and contemporary twist which is evident in its interior design, which plays a huge role in the hotel’s sustainability and social impact programmes. Forging real connections and commitments allows Latitude 0° to create statement interiors produced by local communities using recycled, upcycled and sustainable materials.
Curated original artworks form huge centrepieces in lobbies, ornate handbeaded textiles adorn the stylish bedrooms, and the funky recycled and upcycled furniture pushes the boundaries of local artisans’ talent, and the materials they have at hand. The hotel is proud to serve as an ambassador for emerging African talent, and its ethical attitude towards their existence helps to create a unique vibe that is unlike any formulaic hotel. You would be forgiven for wondering if you were in an art gallery, rather than a hotel!
With properties in Lilongwe, Lusaka and Kampala, and plans afoot for further hotels in Addis Ababa, Mauritius and Dares-Salaam, the Latitude Hotels Group is certainly a brand to look out for when you’re planning your business or holiday adventures around the continent.
