After a refurbishment process that started late 2016, the Avani Gaborone Resort & Casino has completed an extensive renovation, representing an investment of US$7.5 million by Minor Hotels, the parent company.
All 156 guest rooms and public spaces including the main entrance and porte cochere have been renovated.
Avani Hotels & Resorts vice president of operations Alejandro Bernabé said in a statement: “The focus of the renovation has been to enhance the guest experience in all areas of the hotel. We are confident our guests will enjoy the updated look and substantive business and leisure improvements.”
The open plan design for the lobby blends reception, lounge, eateries and chill out spaces. The interior is spacious and natural light has been emphasised.
The Pantry offers quick bites, comfort food, fresh fruit juices, barista coffees and more. The Conservatory, located in the centre of the lobby, provides an informal, communal eatery. Design elements include a leafy graphic design wall, ceiling punkah fans, wicker seating and parquet flooring. The menu features sandwiches, hamburgers, salads and pasta dishes, using local ingredients as well as naturally raised poultry and sustainable meat and seafood.
Guests also have the option of two other restaurants, Savuti Grill and Mahogany. Set within the gardens is a swimming pool and pool bar.
The layout of the guest bedrooms and bathrooms has been redesigned, making it functional, modern and comfortable. Room features and amenities include free WiFi, a dedicated work station with media hub, LCD television with satellite news, sport and movie channels and a rain shower.
The conference centre offers a main conference room accommodating up to 500 guests and five private seminar rooms. The new Peo Business Lounge inside the hotel offers three small private meeting rooms and the common area is able to accommodate six to eight people around the main table plus an additional three desks for individual use.
The property is located in Gaborone’s business district, home to The Botswana Stock Exchange, Debswana Diamond Company, the Southern African Development Community headquarters and financial institutions.
