With the Mountain on One Side and the Sea on the Other
The New Kings Hotel was created and designed for the discerning traveller, both corporate and leisure, but has since become a firm favourite with locals as well. The hotel is positioned on Cape Town’s world famous Atlantic seaboard and is centrally located in Sea Point, boasting panoramic views of Lions Head and the ocean.
The hotel is a sophisticated boutique property, with 42 superbly designed rooms as well as conference facilities for up to 100 guests, a private boardroom facility and retail shops, restaurants and offices nearby.
A continental breakfast is included in the room rate and guests also have a wide choice of eateries to enjoy at the Piazza da Luz for lunch and dinner, as well as an eclectic array of restaurants in and around Cape Town. A kosher menu is available by prior arrangement and all dishes are prepared in the hotel’s onsite kosher kitchen.
Superior and Deluxe rooms, as well as three impressive King’s Suites, afford guests the very best of interior design with a modern, warm colour palette and extensive use of natural lighting and muted tones. This combines to allow Cape Town’s beautiful natural surroundings to be the perfect accompanying decor. With comfort in mind – and mindful of the needs of the urban traveller – state-of-the-art technology (such as 42 inch LCD TVs, Wi-Fi connectivity, iPod friendly docking stations with integrated audio systems, bar fridges, safes, hairdryers, and air conditioning) is offered. The vast sliding windows afford spectacular views and complement the hotel’s contemporary look and feel, which takes full advantage of its close proximity to the ocean and mountains.
The architectural language is a combination of high tech and industrial influences, designed to complement the urban landscape, but to also emphasise the natural one. A glazed atrium structure infuses natural light into the hotel and “scenic” lifts take guests from the secure basement parking through the atrium, to the glamour of the hotel with its panoramic mountain and ocean views. In the piazza below, guests can enjoy the convenience of coffee shops, health food shops, Thai cuisine, a Spar, a Woolworths food store, a wellness spa, hairdressers, clothing stores, an art gallery and a Postnet.
All age groups are welcome and a childminder/care service is available upon prior arrangement and booking.
The cosmopolitan city of Cape Town is home to over 3.5 million people. Here, nature creates one of the most spectacular and beloved settings in the world, where locals and visitors alike come from far and wide to behold the majesty of Table Mountain, Cape Town’s famous backdrop. The New Kings Hotel offers a perfect starting point for an exploration of the city and its surrounds, and the concierge can provide information on all activities in the Cape, from the renowned wine route to trips to Cape Point.
