“Cresta Churchill is the flagship hotel for Zimbabwe’s second city and this refurbishment will create an accommodation offering second to none, suitable for the business and leisure travellers who make this their hotel of choice,” said Stutchbury.

“We have completed the first phase of the refurbishment in time for ZITF and once the guests have left after this important event, we shall move onto the second phase and have this completed in time for another busy period, that of the annual Mine Entra expo and conference in July,” added Stutchbury.

He said as management they are pleased with the modern look of the new bedrooms and suites.

“We are pleased with the stylish and modern look of the new bedrooms and suites and we are confident these will quickly earn a reputation for being the best in the market in Bulawayo. What we have sought is ease and convenience, as well as a classy, clean look that suits all travelling types, both local and international.”

Cresta Churchill was opened in 1974 and is situated in Bulawayo’s southern suburbs on the main route to the famed Matobo Hills national park and world heritage site.
