Mpilo Boutique Hotel

Lesotho


Opened in 2015, Maseru's first true boutique hotel quickly became the gathering spot of choice for the city's upper crust. The hotel features 28 sumptuous rooms, elegant common spaces and the delicious Sky Restaurant, which offers panoramic views of the neighbouring mountains and golf course. It's all adorned in blown-up photographs of the most awe-inspiring landscapes of Lesotho.
