About Gaborone Sun Hotel
Botswana is where the white-hot Kalahari Desert meets the wild Okavango River Delta in an explosion of green that shelters and feeds some of the continent's most prolific wildlife.
Hidden in the searing sand is one of the world's richest sources of diamonds.
Features of Gaborone Sun Hotel
Sun International's luxury hotel, casino, and conference centre in Botswana is another glittering diamond.
Located in the capital city of Gaborone, the Gaborone Sun offers world travellers and businesspeople a sophisticated conference centre and meeting place, with the added advantage of a premium casino.
Travellers are drawn by the promise of high adventure to a place that exposes all who visit to the extremes of the African interior.
Africa is the most alluring continent on earth, and Botswana is the sorcerer.
The Gaborone Sun's hotel rooms provide a home-from-home feel where you can relax or catch up quietly on some after-hours work.
The beautiful rooms, with their soft African-hued furnishings, offer a serene escape from the bustle of the boardroom or the excitement of the casino.
The hotel dates back to the seventies and has been extensively refurbished and refined. Accommodation includes a total of 196 rooms, including:
- 1 standard paraplegic room
- 1 luxury paraplegic room
- 1 palatial Presidential Suite
- 3 suites
- 38 luxury rooms
- 152 executive rooms
From the luxury of our Presidential Suite to every other room, you can expect no less than the highest standard of service, comfort, and hospitality.
