Lusaka - The new Protea Hotel Lusaka Tower opened its doors on Monday, making it the fourth Protea Hotel offering in the Zambian capital and the eighth in Zambia as a whole.

Built to meet the growing demand for conference and business accommodation in Lusaka, the hotel has already received a number of bookings for its conference facilities as well as its rooms.
