Cresta Grande has formally opened its doors on Thursday, April 15, aimed at leisure and business travellers in the four-star market.
The hotel is a 19-storey building in the Cape Town CBD, originally built as an office block in the late 1970s and situated on an historic street that was once the forefront of the city along the shore of Table Bay. In 2009 the office block was converted by owners, The Leisure Group into a hotel, a status it has carried to this day.
“We are excited about this development, which further enhances Cresta Hotels’ already significant presence across Southern Africa,” says Chipo Mandela, Cresta Hotels Group Executive.
Cresta is well-established in the southern African travel and tourism sector, already operating 17 other hotels in Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
The hotel has 242 stylish bedrooms, a series of conference and banqueting rooms, a 24-hour café, bar and lounge, gymnasium, sauna and steam room, covered and access-controlled parking area and outdoor swimming pool with sundeck. It is situated at the corner of Loop and Strand streets, close to the commercial centre of Cape Town, as well as a range of visitor attractions, including the world-famous V&A Waterfront.
The hotel has superb views of Signal Hill, Table Mountain and across the city, and is not only conveniently sited but also uniquely placed to give both scenic enjoyment and convenience to guests.
