Further changes to enhance food and beverage outlets and the lobby are under way and will soon be available for guests.
The property has 102 guest rooms, 20 executive rooms, seven one-bedroom suites and eight two-bedroom suites with city views.

The Hilton Cape Town City Centre becomes Hilton Worldwide’s third hotel in South Africa.
