The timing of the redesign has been calculated to cause the least disruption to guests. African Pride Hotels Group marketing and advertising manager, Nicholas Barenblatt says the new design will focus on dining privacy and intimacy.
"Hotel spaces need to evolve with the changing desires and needs of our guests and hoteliers must listen to and act on these trends in order to remain relevant. In this case it's the desire for more intimate spaces; they want fine dining experiences that offer a measure of privacy in which to conduct business so we're remodelling the restaurant space to accommodate this trend," he says.
Barenblatt says besides the general restaurant floor space, five private dining venues are being created with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment to allow for meetings that require catering.
The restaurant will be closed from 1 December 2012 to 1 February 2013 and the hotel has made the following arrangements regarding breakfast during this period to ensure that guests are not inconvenienced:
The 24-hour Hotel In Room Dining, Library Bar, Pool Bar and conferencing facilities will still be fully operational with no interruption.
