The Cape Town CBD will benefit from the Tsogo Sun’s new dual-brand 19-storey hotel development on the corner of Bree, Buitengracht and Strand streets. The building is entering the final construction stages, and is due to be completed by September, 2017.
Constructed at a cost of R700 million, the two hotels will add 504 rooms to the Cape Town tourism market. The development, which consists of the SunSquare Cape Town City Bowl and the StayEasy Cape Town City Bowl, is aimed at expanding Tsogo Sun’s offering for both business and leisure travellers of all budgets. Tsogo Sun currently operates three full service hotels in the city – Southern Sun The Cullinan, Southern Sun Waterfront and Southern Sun Cape Sun, as well as the Garden Court Nelson Mandela Boulevard and SunSquare Cape Town Gardens.
Superb accommodation and great location
This development brings its total number of bedrooms operated in the Cape Town city centre to over 2 000. In addition the Tsogo Sun Group owns the Westin at the CTICC, Radisson Waterfront and Protea Victoria Junction hotels through its controlling investment in the Hospitality Property Fund.
“We’re delighted to have the opportunity to increase our presence in one of the most vibrant cities on the continent. We believe the continued development and rejuvenation of Cape Town’s city centre will cater to growing demand for hotel accommodation,” says Marcel von Aulock, Tsogo Sun’s CEO. “Positioning these two strong Tsogo Sun brands in the CBD expands the Group’s mid-market offering in one of the fastest growing segments of the hotel industry. These properties, designed with style and functionality, represent the next generation of room design in this category for Tsogo and offer superb accommodation, great location and affordable pricing.”
The development consists of a 202-bedroom SunSquare Cape Town City Bowl hotel with five conference venues, the largest of which caterers for up to 140 delegates; Tsogo Sun’s trendy and fast growing Vigour & Verve casual dining offering; a rooftop pool and bar with panoramic views; retail space; a fitness centre; and a StayEasy City Bowl hotel, offering 302 bedrooms with a breakfast restaurant and access to all the facilities on complex. The project also includes undercover parking for 300 vehicles.
The hotels will offer easy access for visitors to explore the trendy surroundings – vibrant restaurant district, Table Mountain Cable Way, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town Stadium and Cape Town International Convention Centre.
Tsogo Sun’s portfolio includes over 100 hotels and 14 casino and entertainment destinations throughout South Africa, Africa, the Seychelles and Abu Dhabi.
