Guests will find a sleek and homely new look at the magnificent brick and stucco Italianate building, said to be the first skyscraper of its time. Since opening in 1860 the hotel has had an illustrious past having hosted the likes of Charles Dickens, Cecil Rhodes and Lily Langtry. The new design has been carefully conceived to honour the heritage and history of the building, with classic patterned wooden floors, panelled walls and plush fabrics, while adding a fresh, modern finish and amenities including air conditioning. For those seeking a stately place to host their wedding day, the Colonnades and Palazzo suites have been refreshed to host elegant events. Overnight guests can relax and unwind in one of the newly refurbished bedrooms featuring a sophisticated make-over, with a nod to the authentic Regency period and style of the hotel. What’s more, residents can now raise a toast in the glittering new bar area in the Albert Room showcasing marble tops, rich gold finishes and jewelcoloured furnishings.
