Hotel Presidente Luanda

Hotel Presidente Luanda or Le Presidente Luanda Hotel is a hotel in Luanda, Angola, considered to be the city's most prestigious hotel.[1] Opened in 1960, as of 2015 it had 194 rooms.[2] Over the years it has played a major role in Angolan international relations, and is a common meeting place for ambassadors, politicians and business executives.[3] After undergoing inspection in 1980,[4] the hotel subsequently underwent restoration the following year.[5] As of 1995 it had only one of two foreign exchange points in the city, the other being at the Banco Nacional de Angola.[6]
