The hotel
Hilton's first address in Eswatini.
Hilton signed for this hotel in 2015, its first in what was then Swaziland. The partner was the country's Public Service Pensions Fund, and the plan was a new building in the centre of Mbabane, the capital and largest town. The opening slipped more than once while it was built, which Hilton said at the time was nothing unusual. The deal named 130 rooms; the hotel opened with 124.
The finished hotel stands on Mhlambanyatsi Road, in the business district, with 124 rooms over six floors. Ministries, embassies, the government hospital and The Mall at Corporate Place are all close, so most guests come for meetings. The Ezulwini Valley, with Mlilwane and the royal town of Lobamba, is about twenty minutes' drive away. Back at the hotel there is an outdoor pool, a gym open day and night and five meeting rooms.
- In the business district A short walk to the government interministerial building, several embassies and The Mall at Corporate Place.
- Pool and gym An outdoor pool for a swim after a day of meetings, and a fitness centre open around the clock.
- Room to meet Five meeting rooms for small and mid-sized groups, with event space planned at about 245 square metres.
