Southern Sun Dar es Salaam reopens after four-year hiatus

TANZANIA – Southern Sun has announced the reopening of its Southern Sun Dar es Salaam hotel in Tanzania.

This property has undergone a refresh and is ready to welcome back guests with a clean look and improved amenities.

Located in the heart of Dar es Salaam’s commercial district, Southern Sun Dar es Salaam borders the historic botanical gardens and neighbours major government offices, Embassies and Diplomatic Missions, including Julius Nyerere International Conference Centre. 

With its prime location, it provides an excellent choice for business travellers, diplomats, and tourists seeking a comfortable and refined stay in Dar es Salaam.

“The market in Tanzania is showing strong economic indicators, making it an ideal time to reopen and offer our signature hospitality once more,” said Lynton Delaney, Offshore Operations Director at Southern Sun.

Guests can look forward to our vibey Baraza Café, Grill & Bar, which highlights the rich flavours of Tanzania. Its diverse menu features fresh seafood, regional dishes, and premium grilled selections.

The hotel’s swimming pool, water feature and public areas now boast intricate mosaic work and a refreshed colour scheme creating a welcoming environment. 

Enhanced HVAC and IT systems provide reliable climate control and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the property, making it a suitable venue for conferences, business meetings, and events.

“Southern Sun Dar es Salaam is more than just a place to stay; it’s a space for guests to connect, relax, and engage,” said Bruce Chapman, the hotel’s General Manager. 

“We are excited to offer a refreshed environment that reflects the evolving nature of Dar es Salaam while maintaining the authentic charm that our guests know and appreciate.”

Southern Sun Dar es Salaam’s proximity to the Julius Nyerere International Airport and the recently commissioned SGR passenger train that operates between Dar es Salaam and the capital Dodoma, is an additional advantage. 

Proximity to the neighbouring Diplomatic missions such as the British High Commission, European Commission, South African High Commission and Tanzania’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, combined with its meeting rooms, make it an excellent choice for government, Diplomatic and business travellers, as well as conference attendees. 

The hotel offers dedicated facilities tailored to the specific needs of business travellers, providing convenience, comfort, and elegance.
