Malawi Hotels Limited’s head office was located in Blantyre.
In 1966 the strategy for hotel development was produced by the Division of Tourism and endorsed by the National Development Committee, responsible for scrutinising sectoral development plans. This plan became the country’s official blueprint for upgrading the hotel sector with the starting point the provision of a network of professionally managed hotels of adequate standard.
It was planned that hotels would be run as a company. Malawi Hotels Limited was formed in 1967 and was controlled as a subsidiary of the Malawi Development Corporation, a statutory body directly under the responsibility of the Office of the President and Cabinet.
The operation of these hotels would be undertaken by Hallways Hotel Overseas Ltd., a UK based company that entered Malawi in 1965 when they took over the administration and running of existing government accommodation facilities.
