Sun International to Open The Boardwalk Hotel and Spa in Port Elizabeth, South Africa
November 12, 2012 - Sun International Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of The Boardwalk Hotel and Spa, a five-star property in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The new hotel is scheduled to open in December 2012.
Facing the Indian Ocean, this majestic Victorian building is set to become one of Port Elizabeth's most iconic hotels. The Boardwalk Hotel and Spa's 140 rooms include eight Luxury Suites and a Presidential Suite. The interior design is a melange of soft bright colors such as peach, light green, cream and floral patterns. The hotel will have one restaurant and two bars, where Sun International's famous buffets will be available for breakfast and dinner. The cuisine will be Asian inspired, offering a blend of spices and other aromatic flavors to accompany fine local seafood.
Visitors of The Boardwalk Hotel and Spa will be able to enjoy everything the Indian Ocean has to offer: sun-drenched beaches, warm clear waters, stunning sunsets and water activities such as swimming, fishing, surfing, scuba diving, snorkeling and sailing. Port Elizabeth is ideally located on the famous Garden Route and represents a great starting point to explore and discover the wonders of the area.
Port Elizabeth is a bustling urban hub surrounded by incredible natural beauty where visitors can find nature reserves, marine sanctuaries and the Big Five. Endangered species such as African penguins, seals and whales can be spotted in the St. Croix Island Marine Reserve. The Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour is another exciting way to experience the unique wilderness in a breathtaking tropical forest setting.
Also in December 2012, Sun International will open a new landmark 4-star property located in Sandton, Johannesburg's business center.
