Historic Port Alfred hotel reopens
ROYAL St Andrews Hotel in Port Alfred, which forms part of the
Mantis Collection, reopened on September 4 after a R130 million
makeover. All 10 of the original heritage rooms in the hotel have
been upgraded and a new wing houses an additional 50 rooms.
Equipped with all modern amenities, including free high-speed
WiFi, the hotel is designed to make both business and leisure
travellers feel at home. A modern 180-seat conference facility,
the biggest in Port Alfred, will attract national conferences to the
town with a spin-off for other accommodation establishments and
restaurants. The hotel is also working with the Royal Port Alfred
Golf Course to promote golfing tourism to the area.
