Lilongwe is Malawi’s purpose-built capital city. It is home to Parliament, many government Ministries and the country’s tobacco industry. It also hosts the diplomatic community accredited to Malawi.

The Sunbird Capital has 187 rooms on three floors. Some overlook the bougainvillea planted central courtyard, others the swimming pool or the elegant wooded gardens. Each newly redecorated room has air conditioning, satellite television, radio and telephone. The hotel has superb conference facilities and a dedicated business centre.

The Capital Hotel is also popular for stopovers en route to Zambia’s famed Luangwa Valley, one of the greatest wildlife resources in Africa.
