WE ARE PLANNING TO OPEN IN EARLY 2011 Welcome to the Embassy Hotel Hotel Maputo Located amongst the International Embassies in the city centre, the hotel will boast 52 hotel bedrooms and will be styled to suite the international business and corporate traveller. 52 rooms. Rooms have TV / internet connections. Stylishly designed and furnished. Perfect for the busy executive. Dining at the Emabassy Hotel Maputo The hotel offers breakfast and a light snack menu, but restaurants abound all within walking distance. Conferences in Maputo The hotel is equipped with a business centre and is able to host conferences for up to 40 delegates.

Maputo, formerly known as Lourenco Marques after a Portuguese explorer who landed here in 1544, is the capital of Mozambique. Located in the far south-west of the country, it is easily reached from neighbouring Swaziland and South Africa. The city was founded in the 18th century but not much from that period remains today. The biggest historic attraction in town in the Portuguese fortress, built in 1787. A more recent landmark is the Mousinho de Albuquerque Square in the centre of town. The beautiful Train Station is definitely worth a look. It was built in 1910 by an architect from the Eiffel school in Paris.

If anything is certain, you will not go hungry in Maputo. No matter your budget there are enough choices to keep everyone happy. Need to eat on the cheap? Check out one of the many markets where a plateful of stew with Pap (maize meal) will run you less than $2.
The local fish market, located on the north end of Avenue Marginal is one of the best places in all of Africa for fresh fish and seafood. Every evening around dusk, local fisherman haul their catch into the market where discerning buyers scoop up as much as they can carry. Several bars and restaurants on the market premises will cook whatever you buy for a small fee.

Another fantastic option in the centre of town is the Feira Popular. This amusement park come restaurant haven is probably the only place on earth where you can get amazing prawns pili-pili, a cold beer and a round or two of foosball or bumper cars. Entry into the fairgrounds is 5,000 Meticals and is well worth it, day or night. Be sure to take a taxi after dark.

Maputo Attractions
A trip to Maputo Elephant Reserve can be organised by the hotel; if diving is your game, take a trip to Inhaca Island. Maputo’s melting pot of cultures makes a visit to the market, central railway station or fort a must.
The night life is vibrant. There are dozens of bars and clubs close by, to see another side of Maputo. A must is the Mozambican prawns in a local eatery.
