		<description><![CDATA[Main Road Green Point’s restaurant scene will be injected with new energy in the form of the soon-to-launch Eye Bar. With an opening planned for mid-December 2020, the new venue will greet members of the public with a contemporary menu of tapas-style sharing plates, sushi and firm favorites like gourmet burgers and superbly grilled steaks. Comprising a bar area, restaurant and terrace section, Eye Bar is located within the new Vib Cape Town hotel, the first Vib by Best Western in the Southern Hemisphere! With eye-popping architecture by well-known local architect Robert Silke and vibey contemporary interior design decked out in striking white, black and red, the Eye Bar intends to attract a vibrant crowd who enjoy the good things in life. The venue will be managed by GM Niall Bruyns, with Chef Johann Breedt at the helm. “Vib is a vibrant, energy-filled brand and so we want visitors to the Eye Bar to experience this infectious exuberance.

		<description><![CDATA[Situated on the penultimate floor of Vïb, Cape Town’s newest, vibey hotel offering on the Atlantic seaboard, Jaffer Modern will open its doors to the public for the first time in December 2020. The latest addition to South Africa’s contemporary art landscape, Jaffer Modern is the brainchild of its owner and director, Shafina Jaffer, herself a passionate, intuitive artist. “With a focus on aspiring and established Pan-African voices, our goal is to serve as a platform that raises the profile of African art on the global stage,” says Shafina. “We are confident that our extensive network of buyers, combined with a programme of curated exhibitions, will enable us to achieve exactly that!” The architecture and interior design of the gallery has been conceptualised by well-known local architect, Robert Silke. He is also responsible for the design of the Vïb by Best Western (the first of its kind in Africa!) in which Jaffer Modern is situated. Perched just below the rooftop, the spacious interior will feature an inspired use of natural light and boasts breath-taking sea views over Green Point towards Robben Island.

The seasoned, award-winning hotelier, who has over 40 years’ experience within the hospitality industry, is ideal for the position – in 2017, the MAIA Luxury Resort &#38; Spa in the Seychelles was named ‘Resort of the Year’ under his stewardship, and he was named ‘General Manager of the Year’ in 2015 while overseeing operations at the Southern Sun Newlands hotel. Formerly the general manager of The Marine Hotel in Hermanus – and hotel manager at Asara Wine Estate &#38; Hotel before joining The Liz McGrath Collection – Berinato has had a long and distinguished career at hotels of distinction. He holds an American Hotel and Motel Association Diploma, completed at The Carlton Hotel in 1980, and spent the better part of 30 years working for several Southern Sun properties in South Africa. During his tenure, he received ‘Hotel of the Year’ awards in 1995 and 2007 respectively while managing the Crowne Plaza Sunnyside Park hotel in Johannesburg and The Beverly Hills Hotel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The eagerly awaited Matador Network’s ‘25 most spectacular hotels in the world: 2020’ list includes Singita Lebombo Lodge, in the Kruger National Park, in its top 5 selection. The best hotels and lodges from around the world are highlighted in the list, released late in January 2020 – yet another credit to both Singita and Cécile &#38; Boyd’s already illustrious reputations. Designed in collaboration with GAPP Architects, Lebombo reflects the spectacular landscape from which it draws its inspiration. Spectacular is certainly the way to describe this luxury destination in the heart of the Kruger, overlooking the N’wanetsi River. Guests are transported into a bushveld world of dramatic landscapes home to high concentrations of iconic wildlife. Abundant prey draws many big cats to the area, including large prides of lion. Often referred to as “Lebombo: Land of Lions” after the Lebombo mountain ridge, it is one of the best places to see these beautiful animals in their natural habitat. Yet the award-winning accommodation, where the contemporary décor is a standout feature, is an added attraction that distinguishes Lebombo from a plethora of safari options. The Cécile &#38; Boyd interiors are something that Matador specifically points out, stating that: “While many luxury safari [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[LABOTESSA, First Hotel in Portfolio, Set to Open August 2019 LABOTESSA, a 17th-century congregational church now turned lifestyle hotel, will open in Cape Town in August 2019. Originally built in the early 1700s, the intimate, seven-roomed property is one of the oldest buildings in South Africa and the debut project in the LABOTESSA portfolio by first-time hoteliers Jan Fourie and Johan du Plessis. The South African owners and founders were inspired by the opportunity to meld heritage and old-world elegance with visionary new world design. “We are delighted to begin our foray into hotel ownership with one of South Africa&#8217;s oldest buildings, which has been a true testament to the country’s rich history and heritage,&#8221; says du Plessis. “LABOTESSA is a culmination of our affinity for exceptional design, relaxed hospitality, and our connection to the city of Cape Town.” Situated in a restored national monument structure in the heart of the city, LABOTESSA is the only hotel on historic Church Square. This landmark lifestyle property blends luxury and personal service with the independence of residential living. Each of the hotel’s seven spacious suites features private elevator access, a balcony and sweeping views of the city, Lion’s Head and Table Mountain. [...]]]></description>
