Mövenpick Signs Hotel in Maputo, Mozambique

Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has signed an agreement with Matreal Property Services to operate a new hotel in Maputo, Mozambique.

The Mövenpick Hotel Maputo, scheduled to open in 2021, will be located next to Maputo International Airport - just 5km from the centre of the capital city.

Andrew Langdon, Global Chief Development Officer, Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts, said, “With its strong ties to the region’s economic powerhouse, South Africa, its growing importance as a regional commercial centre, plus its future tourism potential given its rich culture and unspoiled Indian Ocean coastline, Mozambique is a major development hotspot and we will most certainly keep an eye on future expansion opportunities.”

Mövenpick Hotel Maputo will cater to the growing number of corporate and government-related travellers visiting the Mozambique capital to conduct business, as well as local companies looking to stage meetings and events.

Key features of the new 150-room property will include a variety of F&B options, plus meeting and conference facilities.

“Maputo is a business hub in its own right, and as the city grows, attracting more companies and visitors, it requires world-class accommodation, business and dining facilities that meet their needs and expectations,” said Mr. Thomas Matlala, Director at Matreal Property Services. “We are confident Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts can deliver these standards, putting our new property – and Maputo – on the map in this dynamic region of Africa.”

Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts currently operates 25 properties across Africa, with five more in active development.
