Rooms and allocations:

A Brief History:

The Building was built in 1930, and forms part of the rich Art Deco era that permeates the Central Business District of Cape Town. As it is situated within an Officially recognised Heritage Zone, the building carries protection under the 2010 South African Heritage Act, and as such, had to comply with all building regulations as prescribed by the Western Cape Heritage Department.

The First owner of the property was a Cape Town newspaper company in 1930, and it has since changed hands on numerous occasions, notably belonging to the Now Defunct South African National Party from 1982 to 1995.

On purchase in 2018, the building went through extensive renovations and remodelling, of which work was completed at the end of November 2018.

It began trading as a Hotel on 11 December 2018.
