BON Hotel Waterfront Richards Bay in South Africa has undergone a soft refurbishment.
The reception, bar, smoking lounge, restaurant, pool deck and façade at BON Hotel Waterfront Richards Bay have been updated. They now sport a colourful retro-vibe with natural wood, ambient lighting and a nature-inspired colour palette, giving a fresh and appealing look.
Owner of the hotel, Freddie Schoonhoven, says it is essential to keep a hotel up to standard, fresh and technologically aligned. A renovation cycle peaks at three years and then it is time to do it again, where needed. “We decided that a minor refurb was required and the work was done pre-season, to keep inconvenience to our guests to a minimum.”
Thea van der Merwe of Divine Décor, the interior decorator commissioned to carry out the work, says she incorporated durability and practicality for the different areas. “Cognisant of the space we were working in, we wanted to embrace the colour palette of the ocean views using shades of blue, turquoise and grey along with the essence of fiery sunsets using contrasting reds and oranges,” she explained.
BON Hotel Waterfront Richards Bay offers 75 modern rooms with views of the ocean front and yacht harbour. Facilities include a conference centre with three meeting rooms, a restaurant, cocktail bar, lounge and a swimming pool. Guests can explore the many nearby attractions and experiences the area has to offer.
