BOTSWANA URBAN TOURISM : Gaborone Hotels

This past weekend we got a chance to stay over at 2 hotels which we took a liberty of seating down and appreciating their different unique factors. Our first stop was The Grand Palm | Hotel, Casino & Convention Resort

 Situated a few mins from the city center of Gaborone and 12kms from the Sir Seretse Khama International Aiport lies this lovely Hotel. Grandpalm Hotel is one of the busiest hotels in Gaborone and if you are an outgoing person like us you will meet a lot of African celebrities even just in the hall ways. We got lucky to run across The Legendary Micasa and next into DJ Buckz.

Our stay in Grandpalm was a stress free one, the staff is friendly and offer at hand assistance and hospitality. The guest rooms are lovely and very well kept. Also We realised that the favourite on this resort for most of its guests has to be the Pool side and the Pool side bar, where resident just go to chill and unwind in the pool or just enjoy a cocktail by the greenery of the pool side area.

If you are travelling for leisure or business, mostly leisure, we would very much recommend you try out this hotel and rate it for yourself. We dont want to oversell or undersell , we write these blogs to motivate you our reader to try out these places for yourself and have first hand experience. 

Our Next Stay in the city, was at 

Lansmore Masa Square Hotel Gaborone Botswana

Located in one of the two towers in the iconic Masa Square in Gaborone, the Lansmore Masa Square Hotel is also one of the luxurious Hotels in the greater Gaborone area. The first experience you will have when you walk into the reception area is the smiles of the friendly staff at your assistance. The most exciting thing about this hotel has to be its affordability because of its low price specials. You get to experience luxury at an affordable price. The rooms are very beautiful and spacious , also very clean and well kept. One of the best features of the hotel is that it is situated in the CBD area and is surrounded by great restaurants and other service providers. 

 We loved the artsy touch in this room. 

Lansmore Hotel is perfect for business travellers. Because of the business atmosphere around it and exlusivity , its also very convinient because many areas in the city are easily accessible from this hotel since is situated in the city center.

All in all we enjoyed our stay in both Hotels and highly recommend them to you our readers. Dont hesitate to call them any day and make a booking and do get back to us and tell us all about your experience, we would definately love to hear all about it.
