Hope/Fay Hotel and Conference Centre, formerly known as Marondera Hotel has revived the usually sleepy town of Marondera with some scintillating events and entertainment programmes. The conference centre is owned by the Women University of Africa and was refurbished into a state-of-the-art centre.
The manager of the hotel and conference centre said, “Marondera needed a place for its residents to relax and connect, given that it’s the pinnacle of Mashonaland East Province,” she said. “The opening of Hope/Fay centre gave people reason to celebrate. We are overwhelmed by the response from the community.
“We have a vision of providing a one-stop-shop for all guest requirements such as accommodation, food, drink and entertainment that also caters for all age groups.”
“We have to consider those who like Zimdancehall, jazz, Old School [Golden oldies Fridays], sungura through various functions we host in pursuit of entertainment,” she said.
Before the opening of the centre, Marondera had two entertainment joints — The Legends and Redrat Outdoor.
Moreover, the farming town located 72km east of Harare experienced a crisis after the closure of Marondera Hotel, which saw visitors to the town seeking accommodation in other towns like Macheke and Rusape.
Hope/Fay Hotel and Conference Centre derives its name from local academics and gender activists Hope Sadza and Fay Chung.
