Hilton Hotel Coming to Zambia
HILTON Worldwide Holdings will establish Hilton Garden Inn in Zambia.
The hotel will be housed at the US$98 million Zambia National Building Society Business Park project currently being construct by the National Pension Scheme Authority (NAPSA) on Lusaka’s Cairo Road.
NAPSA director general Charles Mpundu said the establishment of the first-ever Hilton hotel in the country will raise the profile of the business park scheduled to be completed in the first half of next year.
“NAPSA is excited about the hotel because the Hilton brand is big and it will raise the profile of the business park,” he said.
Mr Mpundu said in an interview recently that the development is expected to create a lot of jobs in the hospitality industry.
He said the business park which, apart from housing the Hilton hotel, will accommodate a shopping mall and office blocks, has attracted a number of local and foreign investors with about 75 percent of the space taken.
Mr Mpundu could not, however, disclose which international investors will occupy the premises.
He also said NAPSA will ensure that the business park is not dominated by foreign outlets alone, but will give local investors the opportunity to operate at the urban regeneration project.

My friend that was an MMD project, not PF. It was funded and started before 2011. In fact, PF condemned it and branded it a corrupt deal

PF always wanting to get credit where it is not due. Most of these projects were started by MMD. Let them start their own projects and get credit for it. Why not start by giving us a people driven constitution that can stand the test of time? Believe me Sata would have made history and would always be remembered in the history of Zambia as being the first president to change the constitution to suit the masses. We can even vote for him again come 2016 and pray for him to be health and live long!!

RDA should now think about creating a filter ramp out road from there connecting the business park and also ramp to Church road fly over to access Levy Park. Increase the lanes of Church road for the access to the Embassies and Government offices. This road must have a card access or toll gate.
If you need help, I am available.

Why didn’t the Hilton family apply for a piece of land and build ‘their’ empire Hotel like they did in other African countries?

@ yellow mellow you have a good point. Zambians do not seem to realize that foreign investment without new infrastructure is basically stagnant ( paint job ) for the host country. Zambia did the same thing with Shop-Rite,Stanbic Bank etc.
Idiots at the helm of power.

This project heavily condemned by PF before they came into power and was subjected to an enquiry. What was the result of the investigation?

Some of these hotels should be built on the Copperbelt too, why is everything in Lusaka? do you want everyone to come and live in LSK?.
Everything is just lsk. talk of Arcades, Manda hill,Radson blu, Stadia, the only small shopping mall in Ndola is Jacaranda Mall full of Lebanese ice cream,
Kitwe is big but not even a two lane airport,is only tax paid in LSK?
If you cant develop everywhere then just sell the country and rename it Puerto Rico.

Allocate them land in misisi and chibolya so that when they run away,they leave behind infrastructure

Zambians learn from what transpired in Zimbabwe. The whites left,the infrastructure remains.
The difference between Mugabe’s Govt and Sata’s is vision and obviously education,or lack off, on the Zambian side.

Cairo road is indeed a mess that is why serious investors now go to Thabo Mbeki road, Great East road, etc. Anyway let us wait and see. Probably it will improve the image of Cairo Road to a certain degree.
