Dar es Salaam. The management of the Kunduchi Beach hotel will close down the hotel for about six to ten months to pave way for major overhaul.
The overhaul, which is expected to start at the beginning of June, is part of preparations to make it a five star accommodation facility, Simon Nguka, an official with Wellworth, a company that manages Kunduchi beach told reporters over the weekend.
About $10 million will be spent to improve the facility, Zulfikar Ismail, the company’s director noted.
Kunduchi Beach hotel, which is located in Dar es Salaam northern coastline, was privatized in 1997 after it fell into a state of disrepair.
“When we took over the hotel we made a turnaround and employed 200 workers. And now we want to overhaul it to a five star facility,” Nguka said.
Wellworth manages several hotels and resorts in the country.
