The Westcliff Hotel shut down operations on June 30 and is expected to only open again in July 2014, following renovations.
This comes after Orient-Express Hotels Ltd announced in July last year that it would be selling the hotel. The transaction was completed at the end of 2012.
A hotel spokesperson says it is unclear at this stage what the new identity of The Westcliff will become but it will reopen once renovations have been completed. The website states: “The Westcliff Hotel Johannesburg is currently closed for a complete transformation including a full renovation of guest rooms, newly designed restaurant and bar, and a new spa. The hotel is scheduled to reopen in Spring 2014.”
