Mogae to open swankier President Hotel

He says although they expect to spend more money on further renovations, over P25 million has so far been spent on completed aspects. The revamping of the hotel - affectionately known to patron as the 'Press' - is all in the Cresta Marakanelo group's five-year cycle of renovations.

However, Chivese says renovating the President Hotel was a "major" cost to the group because it took longer than projected.
A new feature of the hotel is the relocation of the Pula-le-Thebe lounge bar to pave way for the kitchen. The cock tail bar annex overlooking the main mall.
