Since its establishment, Cresta Marakanelo Limited (CML) has maintained its position as the hotel group with the largest footprint in Botswana, spanning across the country.
CML is the operating company for the 12 Cresta Hotels in Botswana. The company was formed in 1987 with an initial portfolio of fewer than 290 rooms; to date, the group manages just under 1 000 rooms in Botswana.
Our corporate vision is to be a dominant mid-scale hotel group in sub-Saharan Africa, on a mission to innovatively offer excellent service filled with African Heart and Soul. With hotels spread across Botswana, we are the gateway for you to experience true African hospitality – whether you are travelling for business or leisure.
From a single point of departure, the Cresta brand encompasses a range of different products, without being diluted or compromised. Whether you are looking for a cosmopolitan or truly authentic African experience, you will find every hotel of the Cresta group offers exceptional service quality.
Our blueprint: The gateway to a true African experience
Cresta Hotels aims to provide memorable hospitality experiences through four experiential gateways. This caters to the cosmopolitan customer, or one seeking more of an authentic African experience.
The four gateways – Urban Heartbeat, Urban Oasis, African Roots and African Fingerprint – are each designed differently for you to choose the travel experience that will best suit your individual needs.
