Hello HILTON LUSAKA 😀, I’m very much pleased to write this review. My job requires me to travel a lot hence, i have stayed in the hundreds of hotels ,various parts of the world and also tried different cuisines. I am very much delighted to admit that chef of Hilton Lusaka, Chef KUNGWI is among my top ten chef list in the world and definitely no.1 chef among Hilton hotels i stayed across the world. Okay ,it was around midnight i was hungry and from the menu i ordered ‘Eggs Benedict’ (poached eggs, pan seared ham,toast with hollandaise sause) , and as i don't consume ham so, requested chef for other option he recommended me chix and when asked for greens ,chef recommended me spinach and possibly any local veggies ,so generous of him and love to mention that on all this conversation chef was so humble and what a gentleman he’s ,kudus to him. Ok food arrived and the presentation itself was exceptional and i tasted the food it was exceptionally delicious ,eggs was perfectly cooked,the texture was perfect and chicken spinach blended amazingly and toast was sufficiently crispy with special sauce prepared by chef….really tasty ,attention to detail and had an excellent food experience …thanks to you chef Kungwi. I would like to mention that entire team at Hilton Lusaka were friendly ,kind and thorough professionals ,especially housekeeping team the rooms were super clean kudus to them. In-room dining team very organised and nicely spoken john on call and the lady who served so professional. Front desk team very efficient and thank you mathew. Security team were attentive,polite and helpful too.Thanks to chauffeur too very knowledgeable and friendly. I must say ,had a very good experience stayin at Hilton Lusaka and would definitely come again recommend...
Read moreFor decades, Hilton on Cairo Road was more than just a hotel—it was a landmark, a compass point for the city’s pulse. Its closure feels a little like Lusaka losing a chapter from its own autobiography. This was where business travelers shook hands over strong coffee, where weddings spilled laughter across marble floors, and where Sunday buffets became family rituals.
Now, the revolving doors have stopped spinning, and the neon glow that once signaled prestige has dimmed. The closure is not just the shutting of a building, but the closing of a stage where countless stories played out. Like a seasoned actor leaving the theater, Hilton bows out gracefully, leaving nostalgia to linger in its empty halls.
Of course, Cairo Road will march on—this artery never sleeps. But without Hilton, the street feels a little less cosmopolitan, a little less grand. Still, in true Hilton style, it hasn’t departed in silence; it leaves behind a reputation polished by decades of service, a reminder that luxury once resided right at the heart of the capital.
In the end, Hilton Cairo Road deserves more than a simple goodbye. It deserves a toast: to the years of hospitality, to the city it helped shape, and to the memories that will continue to check in long after the guests have...

It needs to be toned down like a whole lot. I personally was disappointed in this as well as the food. I ordered Nshima when I just got there because I was so much looking forward to having some and it was a huge mistake. The traditional chicken I had ordered had no taste whatsoever. Hilton sadly was a let down. I wouldn’t return here and wouldn’t recommend it. Find something...
