This is an interesting mixture, a private club and hotel.
Set in the centre of Harare it is a faded gem of the 1970's perhaps of the '80's.
The rooms are not large by American standards but more than adequate.
They are decorated from a bygone era with prints of nineteenth century England dominating.
This is because it was a club founded by the Brits in the nineteenth century although the current club was built as part of a complex in the 1960's.
There are grand reception rooms now used to house study groups and, on Sundays, prayer meetings.
There is a fine bar and dining room~I ate there and the food is good. Once again there is a link to the past~the breakfast is the "full English" variety and at my lunch custard was available.
No air conditioning seemed available but the public rooms were cool and quiet bedrooms cooled at night.
The bathrooms are large with combined bath and shower and although hot water takes a time to arrive it does eventually.
That, I suppose sums up the charm of the place. It is not the instant, immediate, comfort of some anodyne hotel chain where you earn "miles" for staying. It is more for those who have actually traveled miles and enjoy well earned comfort in relaxing surroundings.
I thoroughly enjoyed meeting with local members who came in for a drink after work.
The Club has new management in place to try and survive the changes of the last 50 years and revive the place.
Go.
