Chingaola Hotel

completed

This project involves the establishment of a three star 40-room (70 bed) business hotel in Chingola, Zambia. In addition to providing accommodation, the hotel will have fully equipped conference facilities to cater for up to 100 people. Chingola is a small mining town in the northern part of Zambia''s Copperbelt about 460km north of Lusaka. The town, like most of the Copperbelt has increased in economic importance following the recent privatization of the copper mines and resumption of mining activity throughout the Copperbelt. To add to its importance, Anglo American Corporation''s Conceal Copper Mines (KCM) has decided to locate its headquarters in Chingola. KCM, in which IFC has recently made a major investment, accounts for 68% of Zambia''s copper mining activities and is expected to attract a significant number of business visitors to Chingola and the rest of the Copperbelt. Chingola Hotel will be the first and only hotel in Chingola of a standard that caters to business travelers.
