And hidden in the searing sand is one of the world's richest sources of diamonds.Sun International's luxury Hotel, Casino and Conference Centre in Botswana is another glittering diamond. The Gaborone Sun located in the capital City of Gaborone, offers world travellers and business people a sophisticated conference centre and meeting place with the added advantage of a premium casino.Travellers are drawn by the promise of high adventure; to a place that exposes all who visit the extremes of the African interior. Africa is the most alluring continent on earth and Botswana is the sorcerer.The Gaborone Sun's hotel rooms provide a home-from-home feel where you can relax or catch up quietly on some after hours work. The beautiful rooms in their soft African-hued furnishings offer a serene escape from the bustle of the boardroom or the excitement of the casino.The hotel dates back to the seventies and has been extensively refurbished and refined. Accommodation includes a total of 196 rooms including 1 Standard paraplegic room, 1 luxury paraplegic room, a palatial Presidential Suite, 3 suites, 38 luxury rooms and 152 Executive Rooms.Take a tour of our property and see what we can offer you. No matter if you visit us for business or pleasure, if you stay for a month or just stop over for a night on your way into Botswana, we would love to welcome you home. It will be our pleasure to have you as our guest. « less

Got to say I have read several reviews, but I like to form my own views. This is a good clean hotel in Gaborone, although dont come here expecting a full on Hilton or Marriott experience. Rooms are a bit dated and could do with a cash injection, but everything worked and the staff were very friendly (if a little... More

Stir fry selection is extremely limited. Cheese consists of some sweating cheddar a little gouda and not much else.

Gabarone is not blessed with a lot of business accommodation - Gabs Sun is there but only OK - everything happens slowly and when you have had a long day in badly airconditioned offices you want check-in to be efficient - very slow I am afraid.

Arrived the first night, and was put in room 240, facing the car park. It was so noisy that I couldn't sleep. Traffic noise, guards yelling at the top of their voices etc. The second and third night I was in room 207. There are trees around this area with hundreds of birds that don't sleep. Needless to add, I... More
