As well as being an idyllic resort hotel, the Solomon Kitano Mendana, gracing the ocean front, is a premier location for business travellers because of its proximity to Honiara's government and business offices.

Situated just 15 minutes from Henderson Airport and two minutes from Honiara's main shopping centre, the hotel is the Solomon's premier conference venue with full Business Centre offering photocopy, telex, fax and secretarial services. The Coastwatchers facility caters for 100 people for a cocktail function, and the specially designed Canopy in the Courtyard will hold up to 400 people for major events. Landscaped gardens complete the visually splendid setting.

The choice of 94 guest rooms includes deluxe rooms with sea or garden views, three luxurious suites, and standard rooms, all with air-conditioning, IDD telephones, television with in-house video and satellite TV systems, fridge, tea and coffee making facilities plus international standard service to match from the staff.

Taking care of business and relaxation...

Service shops, evening cocktails, barbeques, performances by island dancing and cultural groups all add to the Solomon Kitano Mendana's natural Pacific hospitality. Tours, swimming, diving, snorkelling, golf and squash are all easily accessible from this gateway to the unspoiled natural splendour of the Solomon Islands.

From the hotel, it is possible to arrange flights to more than 20 of the outer islands or to join the 'off-the-beaten- track' travellers and venture into the wilds of the country, dive further afield to coral reefs and war wrecks, observe the diversity of Melanesian culture, fish and sightsee among the great battlegrounds of the Pacific.
