Cape Town’s R1 billion high-end hotel scheduled to open in March

Cape Town’s new R1 billion ultra-luxury hotel, featuring 142 rooms and six serviced apartments, will open its doors in March next year.

According to Moneyweb, the hotel, located in the popular V&A Waterfront—may operate as an Edition Hotel, part of Marriott International’s elite “super luxury” or 6/7-star designer lifestyle brand.

Developers have reportedly invested around R1 billion in the project.

Quay 7 gets a new luxury hotel

Growthpoint Properties and the Public Investment Corporation (PIC), co-owners of the ‘Quay 7 hotel,’ are developing it as a “contemporary luxury lifestyle hotel” with a distinct Scandinavian design.

Although Growthpoint has kept most details under wraps, the company recently confirmed that construction on the Quay 7 hotel is moving forward, with the opening planned for March 2026.

Table Bay Hotel also gets a R1 billion revamp

And it seems the luxury Quay 7 hotel isn’t the only billion-rand offering for the V&A Waterfront.

The iconic Table Bay Hotel is undergoing a landmark R1 billion refurbishment—the most significant transformation in its nearly 30-year history.

The V&A Waterfront, which now owns the hotel, closed it earlier this year to begin the renovations, with Sun International overseeing its management.

The project aims to modernise the hotel’s facilities while preserving the timeless elegance that has established it as one of Cape Town’s top luxury destinations.
