NH South Africa has announced that the major refurbishment of its landmark property, NH The Lord Charles Hotel, near Cape Town, has been successfully completed on schedule. The project included major renovations to the conference centre, lobby area and Garden Terrace restaurant, as well as 100 guest rooms.
NH The Lord Charles has 198 beautifully appointed guestrooms and houses one of the largest conference centres in the Western Cape, with a range of venues to suit a variety of events or meetings. Set between the spectacular mountains and vineyards of the Cape Winelands and white sandy beaches of False Bay, the hotel is conveniently situated only 20 minutes’ drive from Cape Town International Airport and 30 minutes’ drive from the Cape Town CBD.
Brilliant Basics
The remodeling of the guestrooms is in line with NH’s Brilliant Basics service offering, which promises guests understated yet perfect comfort and convenience based on four simple, yet fundamental features of their stay at the hotel: a perfect night’s rest, soothing rain effect showers, NH’s excellent breakfast, and free and easy WiFi anywhere in the hotel.
Upgrades to the rooms include a new-look, minimalist decorative theme, furniture and artwork, new beds, 42-inch smart televisions and mini fridges, while the en suite bathrooms have been fitted with rain effect showers and new makeup mirrors.
Premier conference venue
With state-of-the-art conference facilities for up to 600 delegates, a choice of venues to suit any event, however intimate or extravagant, and expert staff, NH The Lord Charles Hotel is one of Cape Town’s premier conference and banqueting venues and internationally renowned for its conferencing capabilities. Its layout has also made it a safe and popular venue to host international and local dignitaries and celebrities: honoured guests include President Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu and President Jacob Zuma, to name but a few.
The conference centre has been refurbished and upgraded with the latest state-of-the-art equipment, while the flexible room spaces can be adapted to suit any event and can accommodate anything from a half day business meeting for four delegates or a company presentation for 400. Teleconferencing, PowerPoint presentations and high impact audio and video presentations are the norm at NH The Lord Charles.
NH Hotel Group 5-year strategic plan
The extensive refurbishment of NH The Lord Charles Hotel forms part of the brand repositioning programme contained in the five-year strategic plan announced by the international NH Hotel Group in 2014, in terms of which the Group earmarked €200M for the restructuring of its portfolio.
