Minor Hotels will invest $7 million in refurbishment of Avani Gaborone Resort and Casino in Botswana. The renovation has already commenced, with completion expected at the beginning of September.
All guest bedrooms and public spaces are being renovated and will include Avani’s signature design hallmarks. The hotel will be adding on an additional four guest rooms. Once renovations have been completed, the resort will offer 198 keys in total.
The layout of the guest bedrooms and bathrooms are being redesigned, ensuring optimal use of space. The contemporary, fresh design will offer a media hub and large plasma television screens.
The main entrance and porte cochère will also be completely remodelled. Existing lobby walls are to be demolished and the ceiling raised, allowing in natural light. A pantry is being introduced, where guests can eat, grab a quick bite, or stock up their mini bars. The conservatory will provide an informal, communal eating area, with wicker seating, punkah fans, and parquet flooring.
