RAINBOW Tourism Group (RTG) has completed a US$5,2 million refurbishment of its flagship Rainbow Towers Hotel and the Harare International Convention Centre (HICC).
The refurbishment is part of RTG’s US$26 million capital investment programme over the past five years, aimed at enhancing quality, efficiency and international appeal across all its properties.
In a statement after a media tour today, RTG’s chief executive Mr Tendai Madziwanyika said: “The refashioning of the Rainbow Towers Hotel & Conference Centre has breathed new life into the hotel. It offers timeless comfort with a modern twist.
“We have seen the positive impact of this investment as occupancy has grown considerably. We are optimistic about the future performance of this hotel, positioning Zimbabwe as a premier destination for regional and international meetings and conferences.”
Three floors of the hotel have been redesigned to create six premium suites, each tailored for high-profile delegations and executive guests.
“The suites are designed to provide the ultimate in luxury and comfort, with every detail carefully considered to meet the needs of our discerning guests.”
The Harare International Convention Centre (HICC), Africa’s largest colosseum-style venue with a 4,500-seat capacity, has undergone comprehensive modernisation.
The upgrade introduced ergonomic seating with integrated charging ports, state-of-the-art acoustic systems, and advanced digital conferencing technology to meet the expectations of today’s hybrid event environment.
“HICC is now better equipped to host world-class events, with cutting-edge technology and facilities that meet the highest international standards.”
