Business Meets Leisure
Whether for business or pleasure, travellers to Cape Town who really want to get a feel for what it is like to be immersed in the city need look no further than Mandela Rhodes Place Hotel.
Mandela Rhodes Place Hotel comprises four historic buildings that have been lovingly restored and integrated around a contemporary tower block. Situated in the heart of the cultural quarter of Cape Town, this iconic hotel with an historical feeling is a stone’s throw away from the business district as well as an array of great bars, top-class restaurants, and some of the most fabulous attractions of Cape Town.
Commodious apartments and suites provide guests the perfect place to relax and unwind with expansive views of the bustling city below. Business and leisure travellers alike can choose between a range of apartments from the smaller Studio Apartments, which each consist of an open plan bedroom with en suite bathroom, kitchen, and lounge, to the more expansive Two Bed Platinum, boasting an entrance hall, kitchen, dining room, lounge, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and private balcony.
For those staying in Cape Town for a long period – whether for business or pleasure – the apartments offer more than just a luxurious respite and a place to lay one’s head down after a long day. Despite being surrounded by worldclass eateries, dining out every day and night can become tiresome, so having the option of a large, fully-equipped kitchen and entertainment area is great. Guests can shop at the local markets and prepare meals in the privacy of their own apartments, whether it be alone, with family, or with new friends. The hotel also provides daily room service, laundry service, bathrobes, and towels, and each apartment has satellite TV, and air conditioning for Summer evenings.
Another great feature that provides a refreshing break from the heat of the Summer season is the sparkling rooftop swimming pool with panoramic views of the city.
Facilities that make Mandela Rhodes Place Hotel ideal for corporate travellers is its state-of-the-art conference venues, designed to suit all business needs. The two venues offer packages that are tailored to the seasons and extremely cost effective, making conferencing affordable and hassle free. Food and beverage menus are adaptable and offer the flexibility of lunch or dinner settings. The secure indoor hotel parking and being in close proximity to Parliament, the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), and Supreme Court make this the first choice for many business travellers.
Though Mandela Rhodes Place Hotel does not provide dining as part of the hotel, there are a number of renowned, world-class restaurants in close proximity, offering the very finest in culinary experiences. Guests at the hotel can indulge in a complimentary breakfast from either Motherland Coffee Company, or Doppio Zero on the hotel premises.
