Palazzo Hotel gets R60m refurbishment |
The Palazzo Hotel at Montecasino in the heart of Fourways in Sandton recently celebrated its 14th anniversary with a comprehensive refurbishment that included the transformation of all rooms as well as the addition of a new restaurant and function venue.
The refurbishment formed part of the organic growth strategy of Tsogo Sun [JSE:TSH] and represented an investment of R60m by the group.
The Palazzo Montecasino offers facilities for leisure and business travellers, including rooms that vary from the 600m² penthouse to the presidential, deluxe, superior and standard rooms.
Much of the existing furniture was retained and either modified, reupholstered or recoloured. An element of modern technology was added in the form of new 40-inch LED TVs on new TV stands.
The refurbishment of the rooms was completed one wing of 25 rooms at a time, in a systematic approach that took a year.
“In addition to the room refurbishment, and in response to our guests’ valued feedback, we also built a function venue in the garden alongside the colonnade leading through to the Montecasino complex – called Rosa – enabling us to meet the demand for overflow breakfast and function space,” said Robert Jasper, general manager of the Palazzo Montecasino.
The design of Rosa is in keeping with the Tuscan theme of the hotel and is located adjacent to the walkway that leads guests out of the hotel into the Montecasino complex.
The Palazzo Montecasino is one of the luxury properties in Tsogo Sun’s portfolio of over 90 hotels and 14 casino and entertainment destinations throughout South Africa, Africa and the Seychelles.
