1 Views

Cape Town’s new R1 billion uber-luxury hotel, with 142 keys and six serviced apartments, is set to open its doors in March next year.

As reported by Moneyweb, the hotel, based in the ever-popular V&A Waterfront, could be an Edition Hotel – part of Marriott International’s new “super luxury” or 6/7 star ‘designer lifestyle’ offering.

The hotel’s development is also reported to be around R1 billion.

Quay 7 gets a new luxury hotel

The accommodation offering, dubbed the ‘Quay 7 hotel’ and owned jointly by Growthpoint Properties and the Public Investment Corporation (PIC), will be a “contemporary luxury lifestyle hotel” with a distinctly Scandinavian look.

While Growthpoint has remained tight-lipped on the details of the development, they recently revealed that the development of the Quay 7 hotel was progressing, with the opening set for March 2026.

Table Bay Hotel also gets a R1 billion revamp

And it seems the luxury Quay 7 hotel isn’t the only billion-rand offering for the V&A Waterfront.

The iconic Table Bay Hotel is currently undergoing a landmark R1 billion refurbishment, marking the most significant transformation in its nearly three-decade history.

Closed earlier this year to begin renovations, the hotel is now owned by the V&A Waterfront and managed by Sun International.

The refurbishment is set to not only modernise the hotel’s offerings but also preserve the timeless elegance that has made it one of Cape Town’s premier luxury destinations.
