City Lodge Hotel Maputo is simply marvellous!

As we mark Africa Day on 25 May, City Lodge Hotel Group is keen to re-introduce City Lodge Hotel Maputo in Mozambique, which rounds up its southern African expansion into three important neighbouring countries, the other two being the 147-room Town Lodge Windhoek in Namibia (opened October 2017) and 104-room Town Lodge Gaborone in Botswana (opened May 2013). City Lodge Hotel Maputo's opening in February 2020 was marred by the pandemic and subsequent periods of lockdown, with the hotel having to temporarily suspend services after only a month of being open.

It is the ideal accommodation choice that is close to the airport 6.5km away and the Costa do Sol beach, the city centre,private hospital, university and academic institutions, business node,and entertainment, shopping and cultural hubs.
