When one door closes, another opens. After nearly three decades of welcoming guests from around the world, Sun International\u2019s beloved Grand Dame, The Table Bay Hotel, officially closed its doors on 15 February to embark on an exciting journey of transformation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since its grand opening in May 1997, graced by Nelson Mandela, The Table Bay has been a beacon of world-class hospitality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Come December 2025, the hotel will reopen as InterContinental Table Bay, Cape Town, following a major refurbishment that will elevate its offering, while preserving its signature warmth and hospitality. Sun International<\/a> will continue to manage and operate the hotel on behalf of V&A Waterfront (Pty) Ltd, the property owner and developer, under a new franchise agreement with IHG Hotels & Resorts, one of the world\u2019s leading hotel companies.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on this moment, Table Bay General Manager Joanne Selby shared, \u201cOur last guests checked out on Saturday, marking the end of an unforgettable chapter. As we pack up furniture, fixtures and cherished memories, we do so with a mix of nostalgia and excitement. This is not goodbye – it\u2019s au revoir<\/em>. When we reopen, the heart of The Table Bay will remain the same: our incredible staff, whose warmth and dedication have made this hotel feel like home to so many.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The InterContinental Table Bay, Cape Town will feature 306 beautifully designed rooms and suites, offering breathtaking views of Table Mountain, the harbour and the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a testament to the hotel\u2019s enduring spirit, staff will stay on and will return for the grand reopening. \u201cOver the years, we\u2019ve welcomed guests who first visited as children, then returned with their own families. Some even made The Table Bay their home because of the deep connections they formed here. While the hotel\u2019s look may change, its soul \u2013 its people \u2013 will remain unchanged,\u201d said Selby.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The Legacy Lives On<\/h4>\n

Since its grand opening in May 1997, graced by Nelson Mandela, The Table Bay<\/a> has been a beacon of world-class hospitality. From royalty and rock stars to world leaders and sports legends \u2013 including England\u2019s famous Barmy Army, who once drank the bar dry in 2016 \u2013 it has hosted some of the most remarkable guests.<\/p>\n

Sun International CEO Anthony Leeming reflected, \u201cFor almost 30 years, we have proudly owned and operated The Table Bay, positioning it as an award-winning icon of elegance and excellence. While this marks the end of an era, we eagerly anticipate its next chapter. Together with the V&A Waterfront and IHG, Sun International is honoured to be part of this incredible Hotel\u2019s transformative journey to becoming an InterContinental Hotel, at what is undeniably one of the best Hotel addresses in the world, and to delivering an even greater experience for our guests.”<\/p>\n
