Comfort Heating at Tanzania’s Spectacular Ngorongoro Lodge

The Ngorongoro Lodge Meliá, is sited on the rim of the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, in Tanzania, a World Heritage Site. The hotel offers extraordinary views over the 600-metre deep crater which is home to more than 25,000 animals and 2.5 million years of history. We are delighted that the stunning hotel is heated by Herschel Comfort infrared panels.

The hotel enjoys unbeatable views over the world’s largest volcanic caldera. Keeping sustainability at its core, its philosophy is based on integration with the local ecosystem. Herschel is thrilled that the hotel chose our infrared heaters as its heating solution including our highly sustainable Comfort panels.

We were privileged to visit the Ngorongoro Lodge Meliá in June 2025 and see the Comfort infrared heating panels installed throughout the hotel bedrooms. In addition, Herschel Summit heaters heat the dining area and Florida heaters provide warmth through the exterior restaurant and terraces.

The Comfort infrared panel heaters deliver a discreet, unobtrusive and space-saving comfort heating solution ensuring views from the hotel bedrooms are uninterrupted and floor space is kept to a maximum. — Ngorongoro Melia Lodge Hotel bedrooms heated by Herschel Comfort heaters

Feedback from the hotel, a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, on the infrared heaters was fantastic. We are delighted that the infrared heaters align not only with with the hotel’s sustainability objectives but also with their aim to create spacious, serene and comfortable spaces from which to enjoy the breath-taking views. The Comfort infrared panel heaters deliver a discreet, unobtrusive and space-saving comfort heating solution ensuring views from the hotel bedrooms are uninterrupted and floor space is kept to a maximum.

Take a listen to Paul Morey, Herschel Infrared CEO, discussing how the Comfort infrared panels were the first Comfort heaters to be manufactured in, and distributed from, the UK production Facility.
