InterContinental Hotels to Debut in Cape Town Following Luxury Refurbishment

IHG Hotels & Resorts has partnered with the V&A Waterfront to introduce the InterContinental brand to Cape Town. Scheduled to open in 2025 after renovation, the InterContinental Table Bay Cape Town will inherit the luxury legacy of the Table Bay Hotel, which was opened by Nelson Mandela in 1997. The hotel, which will offer 306 rooms and enhance its facilities including a spa and a loyalty club, will be part of IHG's rewards program and overlook the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront.

Cape Town, South Africa, is set to welcome the renowned InterContinental Hotels & Resorts brand with the upcoming opening of InterContinental Table Bay Cape Town. This luxurious property, which is slated to open in Q4 2025, will mark a significant milestone for IHG's expansion in Africa [1].

Originally opened in 1997 by the late Nelson Mandela, the Table Bay Hotel has long been admired as one of Cape Town's most luxurious properties. Its prime location in the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, the oldest working harbor in the Southern Hemisphere, has made it a beloved destination for international visitors [1].

The upcoming redevelopment of the Table Bay Hotel is being led by the V&A Waterfront, a mixed-use development that is investing over R1 billion in the project. Upon completion, InterContinental Table Bay Cape Town will feature 306 guest rooms, a spa, and a loyalty club, further enhancing its offering to visitors [1].

Haitham Mattar, the Managing Director of IHG Hotels & Resorts for India, the Middle East, and Africa, expressed his excitement about the opportunity to bring the InterContinental brand to Cape Town. "With its rich history, scenic location, and a legacy of excellence, this iconic property perfectly embodies the essence of the InterContinental brand," Mattar said [1].

Sun International, which will manage the hotel on behalf of V&A Waterfront, has a long-standing relationship with the company. Sun International's CEO, Anthony Leeming, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership. "We are pleased to continue our relationship with IHG and are confident that their collaboration will enhance the operating performance and customer experience of this iconic hotel," Leeming said [1].

Visitors to InterContinental Table Bay Cape Town can look forward to experiencing the brand's renowned luxury and world-class hospitality, while also enjoying the many attractions that the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and Cape Town have to offer.
