WHERE AFRICA S LEADERS MEET 5-star hotel and convention centre in Malawi

Standing majestically in the central business district of the capital city of Lilongwe in Malawi, Umodzi Park is proudly managed by Peermont, and encompasses the world-class Bingu Wa Mutharika International Convention Centre (BICC) and the 5-star 130-key President Walmont hotel, the only 5-star hotel in Malawi. The sweeping entrance to the Umodzi Park precinct, with over 2500 secure parking bays, leads through the double volume and twin buildings which, together, comprise the Bingu Wa Mutharika International Convention Centre (BICC). The facilities include Lilongwe Auditorium, which seats 1500 delegates and is accessed by a large volume foyer, which can accommodate the same number of guests. Heron, Ibis, Pelican, Sparrowhawk and Sandpiper are the conference rooms, which can be combined or used individually to cater for up to 70 delegates each, and are perfect for company meetings or plenary sessions. Njobvu (Elephant), Mbidzi (Zebra) and Mvuu (Hippo) are banqueting halls which can also be used individually to house 200 delegates, or combined to cater to over 1000 guests. A further four multifunctional venues, Mphasa, Mbuna, Chambo and Usipa offer varying configurations, that cater for 15 people, in a boardroom set-up or for up to 60 people in a cinema style set up. There is also an exclusive VIP boardroom, lounge and holding room, Mafumu, meaning royalty, that has a separate entrance and a dedicated lift, providing an unparalleled level of safety and security. The Conference Centre also features the Mseko Bistro which serves coffees and light meals, and both buildings of the BICC open out onto Malawi Square, a large paved outdoor exhibition and event area featuring the sun of the Malawi flag etched into the vast paved brickwork expanse.

Further up, flanking the square, is the Pabwalo Amphitheatre, another outdoor facility with superb acoustics, ideal for smaller concerts and theatrical events. Overlooking Malawi Square is The President Walmont Hotel, the first ever 5-star hotel in Malawi. It has a large reception area, beautiful lobby bar, relaxing lounge and is home to the elegant Wild Orchid Restaurant, which serves local and international delicacies and a superb selection of wines. The President Walmont Hotel houses a gym, Camelot Spa and the Afroma Terrace Bar where sundowners are served in the bar or at the outdoor lounge that overlooks the entire precinct. The hotel comprises 130 rooms and suites, with 60 Classic King Rooms, 59 Classic Twin Rooms, a Special Assistance Room and 10 Presidential Suites, all with air-conditioning, 40-inch TV s with local satellite channels, a writing desk, international plugs, wi-fi, a mini bar that is stocked on request and a tea and coffee station.
