New Ambassador Hotel Harare
Central Harare · City stay · Expedia partner offer
New Ambassador Hotel is best considered as a central, price-conscious Harare stay rather than a resort-style weekend. Its main strength is city access.
Why it works for a staycation
- Central location for restaurants and city activities.
- Restaurant, bar and free Wi-Fi.
- Can make sense when its live rate is materially below Harare’s higher-rated leisure hotels.
- Expedia guest rating is lower than several alternatives on this list, so compare on value rather than rating alone.
Check the current total and cancellation conditions before paying.
Is New Ambassador Hotel a good central business hotel in Harare?
Yes—New Ambassador is a practical CBD choice if your priority is being close to Harare’s financial, commercial and government institutions rather than staying in a resort-style hotel. Rainbow Tourism Group currently lists 72 en-suite rooms, Bird & Bottle Restaurant, several bars, airport transfers, guarded parking and substantial conference capacity including a rooftop event space.
Who should choose it?
Business travellers: walkable access to government and commercial institutions is the clearest reason to stay.
Conference groups: multiple meeting rooms plus a large rooftop function area make it useful for events.
Value-focused city visitors: suitable when central location matters more than pool or spa facilities.

How we would book New Ambassador
If views matter, ask about one of the city-facing balcony rooms rather than assuming every category includes one. Business travellers should coordinate airport transfer and meeting space directly with the hotel if both are needed. The Expedia score of 7.8/10 is more mixed than several Harare alternatives, so check recent guest feedback before choosing a non-refundable rate.
Why we’d book it
- Very central CBD position.
- 72-room inventory with suites.
- Restaurant, bars and room service.
- Strong conference/event infrastructure.
Trade-offs
- More business-focused than leisure-focused.
- No pool proposition on the current official page.
- Expedia rating is good rather than exceptional.
