| Sem dúvida,
The best place in town!
O melhor hotel da cidade e também o mais caro. Bar, Restaurante, Salão de Chá,
Pastelaria e Casino. É "obrigatório" experimentar o Restaurante e o buffet
(sempre variado). Uma sumptuosa piscina completa o requinte deste magnífico edifício
estilo colonial impecavelmente conservado. Ar condicionado em todos os quartos.

The
Hotel Polana - The Grande Dame of Maputo
In
the heart of Maputo, on one of the city’s most desirable
avenues, between Sommerschield and Polana, the justly famous
Hotel Polana is a cool and gracious haven that recalls the
elegance and splendour of colonial times. Close to
Maputo’s nerve centre – the international Embassies, the
Presidency of the Republic, government Ministries and
popular restaurants – and ten minutes away from the city
centre and the Mavalane International airport, the Hotel
Polana is a majestic building with a history stretching back
many years, now lovingly restored to offer modern
convenience hand in hand with the leisurely luxury and
service of the colonial past.
The
Polana’s perfect location gives guests a panoramic view of
the Bay of Maputo from virtually anywhere in the lush,
landscaped gardens, the ideal place for a gentle stroll or a
game of chess under the deep shade of the great rubber tree.
The magnificent swimming-pool is inviting after a game of
tennis or a tour down-town, a shimmering expanse of cool blue
water dreaming in the sun. The Polana has everything to pamper
and perk up the weary traveler in the Polana Gym, with its
steam room, gymnasium and aerobics classes on site. Some of
the Hotel’s “millennium musts” include a superb gym,
stylish international and piquant local cuisine, a state of
the art conference centre and banqueting suite, a full range
of sporting activities, a vibrant entertainment schedule, a
lavish casino, an art gallery, a colourful selection of bars,
exquisite rose gardens, lush tropical grounds and what must be
one of the most panoramically luxuriant swimming pools in
Africa. |
