The hotel on Jellicoe Avenue in Rosebank will be part of its"Canopy by Hilton" properties - a series of hip hotels with rooftop bars and beer tastings.
The 180-room boutique-style hotel will be the latest of its “Canopy by Hilton” branded hotels. Launched in 2014, Canopy is seen, which offers beer and wine tastings, and rewards its"employees of the month" with orange Converse shoes. “Its design concept will be carefully crafted to allow guests to connect with the artistic fabric of Rosebank whilst offering facilities such as a rooftop bar, pool and garden area that will bring the neighbourhood into the property,” the company said in a statement. The hotel should open its doors by 2023, and a management contract has been signed with the owner of the property.
But it gave up the management contract of the Hilton Cape Town hotel a week ago, with the owner of the property - Millat Properties – assuming control of the hotel. The company said that it is pursuing discussions with other international brands and operators, but will in the meantime “revitalise” the hotel’s offering, including redesigning rooms.
