Malawi
At a glance
Latitude 13 Degrees is a hotel, restaurant, bar and social venue at 43/2/58 Mphonongo Street, on the leafy northern edge of Lilongwe, Malawi. The setting is close to the city while retaining a more relaxed, residential feel. The venue is positioned around 10 minutes from downtown and about 20 minutes from Kamuzu International Airport, making it suited to both city stays and airport-linked visits.
The character is social, stylish and contemporary, with a focus on bringing people together through food, drink, design and cultural activity. Latitude 13 Degrees combines hospitality with spaces for music, art, fashion and parties, creating a setting that works beyond a conventional hotel or restaurant. Sustainability also forms part of the venue’s identity, alongside an emphasis on connections between local residents and visitors.
The restaurant and bar serve food and drinks influenced by places around the world. That broad approach gives the dining offer an international character rather than tying it to one national cuisine. The atmosphere suits casual meals, drinks and social occasions, while the wider venue provides a natural backdrop for gatherings connected to music, creative events and celebrations.
Accommodation includes long-stay apartments, garden suites and club rooms, supported by a 24-hour front desk and flexible check-in arrangements. The combination makes Latitude 13 Degrees relevant to short-stay hotel guests, longer-term visitors and people using the restaurant or event spaces without staying overnight. The garden setting adds a softer contrast to the venue’s urban location.
Leisure facilities include a state-of-the-art gym and an 18-metre heated swimming pool. These spaces complement the venue’s broader interest in fitness, wellness and social activity. Meetings and events are also part of the offer, giving the property a practical role for organised gatherings as well as informal occasions.
Latitude 13 Degrees suits diners looking for internationally influenced food, hotel guests seeking a central Lilongwe base, and groups interested in meetings, parties or cultural events. It also appeals to people who prefer a venue with several functions in one location, from dining and accommodation to fitness, swimming and creative programming. Enquiries can be made through the venue’s front office or contact email.
