		<description><![CDATA[Glamorous new hotel Labotessa on Cape Town’s heritage Church Square has just opened to the public, along with a brand-new outlet of Claremont “café crush”, Starlings. Labotessa, an elegant seven-suite space within a charming historical envelope, embodies the essence of what a boutique hotel ought to be – intimate, considered and personal. Starlings matches this locale in both personality and panache and is set to become the city’s new go-to for a quick brekkie for the early birds or a lengthy lunch looking out on the “piazza”… Given the hotel’s prime position in the CBD – close to a multitude of cafes, restaurants and bars – and considering the fact that guests (both local and international, business and leisure) would want to explore the area during their stay, the duo decided to offer a pulled-back dining element in favour of suites that allowed for in-room snacking, and an inhouse restaurant that catered to a daily neighbourhood crowd as well as hotel guests. Most importantly, they wanted to focus on a level of quality in line with the hotel’s beautiful interiors and service standards. Du Plessis’ vision for how guests would use and experience the space included casual dining that had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Southern Suburbs’ much-loved breakfast destination, Starlings Cafe, has set its sights on the Cape Town CBD and will soon open a city-centric hotspot within LABOTESSA (www.labotessa.com), a new luxury hotel like none other. Opening in August 2019, LABOTESSA is a unique hospitality offering boasting just seven distinctively appointed luxury suites with one of the largest penthouses in the city centre at their apex. It is the only hotel on historic Church Square in Cape Town, within reach of the monumental Groote Kerk and the Slave Lodge set beneath the unmistakable mountainscape of Lion’s Head.  LABOTESSA itself occupies a landmark building: a 17th century townhouse that has been lovingly restored. It is at this auspicious destination &#8211; at 5 Church Square &#8211; that the new branch of Starlings Café will make its nest. The first Starlings Café in Claremont occupies a Victorian cottage on Belvedere Road and is famed for beautiful breakfasts and bountiful bakes that are served against a backdrop of charming, nostalgia-driven décor with a contemporary bent.
