Rhodesia Philately: Meikle’s Hotel (Meikles Associated Hotels)

Meikle’s Hotel was officially opened on 5th November, 1915 in Salisbury.  In 1913, Thomas Meikle decided to pursue his vision (originally conceived with brother Stewart before he died) of constructing a hotel on the influential site of Cecil Square in the heart of Salisbury.

In 1969 plans were created to build a new hotel. In 1974 the old buildings were demolished. The new building was opened in November, 1976 and Southern Sun Hotel (Pty) Ltd overtook management of the hotel.
