Our stay at the Hyatt Meikles Hotel in Harare this past December was nothing short of exceptional. Visiting during one of the hottest months of the year, I was initially concerned about how comfortable it would be, but the hotel exceeded my expectations in every way and we found it to be of very high standard.||Location and Atmosphere:|The hotel’s central location in Harare, right by Africa Unity Square, offers stunning views of the city and is conveniently close to major attractions, restaurants, and business hubs. Despite the heat outside, the hotel is a refreshing oasis within the Harare City, with perfectly maintained greenery, shaded areas and the amazing new Pool Deck on First Floor.||Rooms:|The room I stayed in was spacious, tastefully decorated, and immaculately clean. The air conditioning was a blessing, especially in the December heat, and maintained a comfortable temperature throughout my stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable, with high-quality linens that made resting after a long, sunny day feel like pure indulgence. We also appreciated the blackout curtains, which allowed me to sleep in even with the early morning sun. The views from my room were spectacular, offering a glimpse of the vibrant city and the lush greenery of the square.||Service:|The staff at Hyatt Meikles were absolutely world-class. From the moment we checked in, we were treated with warmth, professionalism and the service was consistently excellent. ||Dining:|Dining at the hotel was a highlight and both Breakfast & Dinner were exceptional in their own right. The breakfast buffet at The Kitchen restaurant was extensive, featuring both local Zimbabwean dishes and international options. With the heat outside, the fresh fruits and juices were incredibly refreshing, and the air-conditioned dining room provided a cool and pleasant dining environment. We also had dinner a few times at the The Kitchen, where I enjoyed a fantastic dinner. The menu had a great selection of both local and international dishes, and everything was prepared to perfection. Dinner highlight was the New Year’s Eve Dinner Buffet with a Live Band and the talented young DJ Thirst on decks seeing us into the new year.||Amenities:|The pool area was a wonderful retreat, especially in the hot weather and I have to say that we spent most of our time by the Pool Deck Bar area catching sunsets in Harare. It’s well-shaded with plenty of loungers and umbrellas, and the staff were quick to offer drinks or snacks. I did not get a chance to use The Gym but I did notice that The Gym is well-equipped with latest equipment and it’s air-conditioned.||Conclusion:|Overall, the new Hyatt Meikles Hotel in Harare is an exceptional place to stay, particularly in the hot summer months. The cool, luxurious environment inside contrasts beautifully with the sunny, warm climate outside, making it a perfect base for anyone visiting the city. Whether you're there for business or leisure, this hotel provides an outstanding balance of comfort, service, and convenience. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Harare and will certainly return on our next trip … of which we are already planning.
