And it keeps getting better, the hotels employ skilled chefs who create exceptional and visually appealing dishes using specialised techniques and high-quality ingredients. Dining within the hotel provides ease of access and offers a carefully curated ambiance that elevates the meal into an immersive experience.

Following remarkable renovations by RTG, the hotel is now better placed to compete in the international tourism and business travel industry on the continent.
The enhancements to the Rainbow Towers Hotel and HICC are critical towards the journey in establishing Zimbabwe as a world-class destination for international events, state visits and luxury travel.

RTG’s hospitality offerings will significantly enhance the country’s ability to gain international attention and investment, helping Zimbabwe capitalize on the recovering global tourism market.
RTG recently completed a US$5.2 million refurbishment of the Rainbow Towers Hotel and Harare International Conference Centre as part of a five-year US$26 million investment plan.
The project included upgrades to three hotel floors, creating six new suites by merging standard rooms. Each suite now features two en-suite bedrooms, a lounge, kitchenette and dining area. An additional 48 guest rooms were modernised with a minimalist design and new bathrooms.
Additionally, the conference centre now has capacity for 4 500 delegates with ergonomic seating, charging stations, new carpeting and improved acoustics.
Rainbow Tourism Group’s Chief Executive Tendai Madziwanyika is on record saying “The refashioning of the Rainbow Towers Hotel & Conference Centre has breathed new life into the hotel. It offers timeless comfort with a modern twist. We are optimistic about our current business performance and the future, positioning Zimbabwe as a premier destination for regional and international meetings and conferences.”
As part of the hotel revamp, three floors were converted to create six premium suites tailored for diplomatic and executive guests, while an additional 48 guest rooms were redesigned in a minimalist style. The HICC, Africa’s largest colosseum-style conference venue with a 4,500-seat capacity, received its first full-scale modernisation, including ergonomic seating, integrated technology, and acoustic enhancements — reinforcing its appeal for top-tier international gatherings.
RTG’s investment into the Rainbow Towers Hotel and HICC showcases their dedication towards sustainable tourism growth in Zimbabwe.
These renovations are important for Zimbabwe’s tourism industry because they help provide extraordinary service and a better sustainable future. RTG’s renovations will position Zimbabwe to better compete for business in the international hospitality industry as the rest of the world recovers from the pandemic and continues to seek luxury and business travel.
