Edition Hotels makes Africa debut with Cape Town property

Edition Hotels has opened a new property in Cape Town, marking the brand’s Africa debut.

 

The Cape Town Edition is located at Quay 7 on the city’s V&A Waterfront and has 142 rooms and suites, including a Penthouse and Harbour Suite on the top floors.

 

The property also features a central cylindrical space named The Drum, which is open to the elements and offers a viewing platform that looks across the harbour and towards Table Mountain.

 

A range of culinary venues are available including signature restaurant Shale, which serves a seasonal menu centred around local farmers, coastal fisheries, winemakers and independent producers.

 

There is also a Pool Terrace and Lobby Bar, as well as a heated rooftop pool, sundeck and 24-hour gym.

 

The spa features five treatment rooms and one couples’ suite, alongside a sauna, steam room, infrared beds and Therabody recovery boots.

 

Edition’s senior vice-president and global brand leader George Fleck said: “Cape Town has a distinctive energy shaped by extraordinary landscapes, diverse influences and an exceptional culinary scene.

 

“As one of the world’s most compelling cultural capitals, it is a natural home for Editon. This opening marks an important milestone for the brand as we continue to grow in destinations that sit at the intersection of culture, creativity and global influence.”

 

Leonie Andreya, The Cape Town Edition general manager, added: “We want The Cape Town Edition to feel as relevant to a Capetonian as it does to someone visiting the city for the first time.

 

“Inspired by the warmth and authenticity of South African hospitality, we have created a place where locals and travellers come together through food, culture, creativity and conversation. Sophisticated but never formal, it offers a distinct lens on Cape Town and the feeling that you have discovered a side of the city, and a community within it, that you genuinely want to be part of.”
