Cresta Hotels invested $6 million (R82,2million) in Cresta Lodge, Harare, between 2012 and 2016. This included the refurbishment of all 171 suites and bedrooms, all public areas, the Chatters restaurant and also saw the construction of the Cresta Sango conferencing and banqueting centre at the lodge.
