Highlights

A Harare original since 1958

Opened almost seventy years ago and the country's first four-star hotel — the Jameson is a working piece of Harare's hospitality history.

Step out into the CBD

Parliament, the Reserve Bank, and Harare's main banking district are within a few blocks — work in the morning, lunch on Samora Machel.

Culture on the corner

The National Gallery of Zimbabwe and Harare Gardens are a five-minute walk — one of the city's greenest, most cultural pockets.

Shop where Harare shops

From the bustle of Africa Unity Square traders to the Avondale and Sam Levy's Village shopping precincts, a short drive north.
