This used to be the Sheraton. It's the same old hotel I remember but it's had a face lift, new carpets, new front desks. Free wireless internet connection in the lobby area, just ask the check in staff for a voucher. Currently the voucher is free, this may change soon.
One warning about this and all hotels in Zim. Do not charge anything to your room, if you do you will be made to pay for it in US$ at the "official rate" on check out.
The official rate is currently US$1 = Zim$250 so if you you have a meal for Zim$2500 you will pay US$10 on check-out
The unofficial rate is US$1 = Zim$1100 so if you pay cash for a Zim$2500 meal you will have effectively paid US$2.30 for the meal.
My room had two single beds, an electronic safe, an unstocked minibar, TV, telephone, bath and shower. The aircon wasn't working effectively. Room service was a lot faster than I remeber it, about 5 minutes for a drink and about 20 minutes for a sandwich.
Like most of the wonderful people in Zimbabwe, the staff are extremely polite and friendly.
I booked my room through Zimbabwe International Travel and Tours and they gave me a rate of US$90/night including taxes and full English b/fast: Obviously this rate may change but it's a dam site cheaper than what a walk in will cost.

I stayed at the four-star Sheraton (which is now the Rainbow Towers) for several weeks over the course of two years in Zimbabwe. It is located about 15 km from the airport.
The grand and stately entrance offers comfortable seating, various bars, reception, often live piano music, and a great place for cocktails.
The rooms are very nice - clean, comfortable, well-decorated. Key cards provide anonymity and security.
The staff are amenable and friendly. I never had any problems with the hotel or its staff. In fact, several staff persons went out of their way to ensure that I had a wonderful stay.
The conference facilities are also of high quality. A variety of meeting rooms and ballrooms are available.
The grounds of the hotel are beautiful - especially considering its located so close to the center of the city. Lots of parking and security guards make having your car worry-free.
Beautiful swimming pool and bar area by the pool. Excellent service. Wonderful meals with great variety. |

This hotel has now been taken over by the Rainbow Hotel Group. It is no longer a Sheraton Hotel. It's new name is Rainbow Towers Hotel. It's the same old hotel I remember but it's had a face lift, new carpets, new front desks. Free wireless internet connection in the lobby area, just ask the check in staff for a voucher. Currently the voucher is free, this may change soon.
