After a four-year hiatus, Southern Sun is reopening its popular Dar es Salaam hotel in Tanzania. The property has undergone an extensive refresh.
Located in the heart of Dar es Salaam’s commercial district, Southern Sun Dar es Salaam borders the historic botanical gardens and neighbours major government offices, embassies and diplomatic missions including Julius Nyerere International Conference Centre.
“The market in Tanzania is showing strong economic indicators, making it an ideal time to reopen and offer our signature hospitality once more,” said Lynton Delaney, Offshore Operations Director at Southern Sun.
New and improved offerings include the Baraza Café Grill & Bar, which highlights the rich flavours of Tanzania, with a diverse menu featuring fresh seafood, regional dishes and grilled selections.
The hotel’s swimming pool, water feature and public areas now have intricate mosaic work and a refreshed colour scheme. Enhanced HVAC and IT systems provide reliable climate control and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the property, making it a suitable venue for conferences, business meetings and events.
Southern Sun Dar es Salaam’s proximity to the Julius Nyerere International Airport and the recently commissioned SGR passenger train, operating between Dar es Salaam and the capital Dodoma, is an additional advantage.
Proximity to the neighbouring diplomatic missions such as the British High Commission, European Commission, South African High Commission and Tanzania’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, combined with its meeting rooms, make it an excellent choice for government, diplomatic and business travellers as well as conference attendees.
The hotel offers dedicated facilities tailored to the specific needs of business travellers, providing convenience, comfort and elegance.
“Southern Sun Dar es Salaam is more than just a place to stay; it’s a space for guests to connect, relax and engage,” said Bruce Chapman, the hotel’s General Manager. “We are excited to offer a refreshed environment that reflects the evolving nature of Dar es Salaam while maintaining the authentic charm that our guests know and appreciate.”
