Highlights

Wooden spring dance floor: One of only two in South Africa

Lapa venue: Two-level event space for 400 guests

Non-alcoholic venue: Dedicated cultural space on site

Halal dining: Gourmet restaurant with Indian, American, Italian, steakhouse, and South African cuisine

Historical: Art Deco hotel dating to 1932

“This Art Deco hotel, dating back to 1932, certainly has a unique appeal, particularly its unusual wooden spring dance floor, one of only two in the country. With venues accommodating up to 400 guests, it seems well-suited for large gatherings, while the dedicated non-alcoholic spaces cater to a broad range of cultural needs. I see potential here, especially for those valuing historical charm and event spaces.”
