The Ridgeway Hotel began construction in 1952 in Lusaka, Northern Rhodesia and was officially opened in 1953. The interiors were designed by Terence Conan (working under Dennis Lennon).
During the 1970’s the hotel suffered fierce competition from the Taj Pamodzi Hotel that had opened opposite it. Richard Chanter arrived in 1979 and undertook steps to revitalise the hotel. He was able to secure the hosting of the 1979 Commonwealth Conference.
