South African-based hotel and casino group, Peermont Hotels Casinos and Resorts, is completing the pre-opening development phase of Umodzi Park in Lilongwe, Malawi. It incorporates the five-star President Walmont, the Bingu Wa Mutharika International Convention Centre (BICC) and the Presidential Villas.
The interior design fit-out is expected to be completed by mid-March.
The entrance to the Umodzi Park business precinct features 2 500 secure parking bays and leads to the BICC, which seats 1 500 delegates and features conference rooms that can be combined or used individually to cater for up to 70 delegates each during company meetings or plenary sessions.
The President Walmont hotel comprises 130 rooms and suites with a writing desk, international plugs, WiFi, a mini bar that is stocked on request and a tea and coffee station.
The 14 Presidential Villas are in a secure estate with a private clubhouse and sporting facilities.
The President Walmont hotel will be open for sale to the general public from May 1 after a period of soft trading to test and check all facilities and standards.
