The property will feature two restaurants, two bars, an executive lounge, conference facilities, a gym, and a sprawling outdoor swimming pool.
The Cavaleros Group, a stalwart in South Africa's property landscape since 1926, solidifies this partnership. Led by Penny Cavaleros, CEO, and Alexi Cavaleros, Head of International Acquisitions, the group is renowned for its extensive portfolio spanning commercial, industrial, and hospitality sectors, both locally and internationally. The collaboration signifies Minor Hotels' strategic entry into South Africa, leveraging the country's status as the continent's second-largest economy.
With 27 operational properties across Africa under its Anantara, Avani, and Elewana Collection brands, Minor Hotels continues to chart a dynamic trajectory in the region. Meanwhile, NH Collection's global presence spans over 90 properties, with upcoming launches set to further enrich its portfolio in Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
