Tsogo Sun CEO, Marcel von Aulock, comments: “When reviewing the property's recent R35 million refurbishment, we saw the SunSquare brand as an ideal fit for the hotel's contemporary style, ambience and location in the city's tourism hub. The decision was thus taken to rebrand the De Waal property”.

SunSquare Cape Town is set to add another dimension of urban cool to the cosmopolitan City Bowl area. Its trendy style and modern features will appeal to those looking to stay somewhere that embraces the individual and welcomes the unique. It is a place to feel connected while meeting, mingling, listening to music inspired from soulful lounges across the globe, or simply taking in the magnificent sights and sounds of the city.

The hotel has 136 contemporary-styled fully refurbished rooms and a spacious lobby extending into a stylish bar area and terrace where guests and locals can unwind while taking in the views of the beautiful pool area and landscaped garden. The selection of conference rooms is ideal for hosting intimate meetings or large functions, with seating for up to 120 people.

SunSquare Cape Town also has a brand new restaurant, Zepi, which offers an exciting and authentic dining experience for local Capetonians and hotel guests alike. The innovative menu focuses on fresh seasonal ingredient with a rotating menu of starters, mains and desserts along with signature dishes like the Bazaruto chicken, prego rolls and pizzas.

“Whether guests are staying over, taking in the ambience and views on the terrace or having a meal at Zepi, we're set to deliver unique experiences for all”, says SunSquare Cape Town General Manager, Richard Keet.
