The hospitality group, which embarked on the sprucing up of its main hotel in Harare April 2012 ,says the upgrading of the property is 90 percent complete with the refurbished rooms set to be operational by August.
Meikles Hospitality Managing Director, Karl Snater said the upgrading of the property is expected to enhance the competitiveness of the hospitality group and is in line with local tourism industry objective of improving quality of products and services.
