Garden Court South Beach boasts a modern look following a R22 million
refurbishment
Garden
Court South Beach, one of Durban’s landmark beachfront hotels, has undergone a multi-million rand refurbishment- an investment which
has revived the 42-year-old property.
The
R22 million investment has made way for the remodel of the hotel’s public areas
including upgrades to elevators, public bathrooms and the reception area as well as a R12 million soft refurbishment of its 414 guest
rooms.
“When planning this refurbishment, we focussed on breathing new life
into the property through modernisation and a fresh look while still building
on the comfort and attention to detail that guests have come to value at the
hotel,” said Garden Court South Beach GM Wayne Smith.
As
part of the project, the hotel acquired new
furniture, artwork, soft furnishings and the addition of
further cubicles in the downstairs public bathrooms.
In addition, the revamped rooms now boast 40” televisions, padded
headboards and newly upholstered desk chairs.
The decor and colour palettes are a blend of muted tones
reflective of the hotel’s scenic beach location, paired with elements of dark
wood, ivory parchment and graphite aluminium.
“The redesign of the rooms was largely beach-inspired and we wanted the
overall feel to translate into a blend of leisure and business,” said Smith.
“Garden Court South Beach has earned a
reputation for its service excellence and continued investment ensures that
the hotel’s facilities are equally of the
highest standard,” said Mike
Jackson, Tsogo Sun Operations Director KZN.
“Tsogo Sun is constantly evolving and
working to maintain quality hospitality and accommodation. This project
reinforces our commitment to investing in Durban as a world class
destination and makes way for the hotel to meet the brand standards of newer properties in the
group,” said Jackson.
