The first Hyatt property in the Mother City opened in December, taking over the building of the Hilton Cape Town City Centre. The property’s rooms and public areas were fully refurbished by Millat Properties, who worked closely with the Hyatt team and interior designers the LW Design Group; the full refurbishment will be completed in the coming months.

“We set ourselves the challenge of opening an international grade hotel before Christmas to give an economic and momentum boost to Cape Town and South Africa,” says the press release issued by Millat Properties. “The pandemic has led to a pause in the capital being deployed by international investors, but we have continued to invest during these difficult times. New jobs have been and will be created as a result of our vision and investment in Hyatt Regency Cape Town. The hotel opening will only encourage both domestic and international tourism.”
