Horizon Aparthotel by Totalstay is now open on Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard following its launch on May 1. Formerly a residential block, the building was acquired by Heriot REIT in 2024 and has since been converted into a 36-unit aparthotel.
It includes a mix of one- and two-bedroom units along with four two-bedroom penthouses. Each unit has a kitchenette and living area. Shared facilities include a restaurant and pool deck.
According to Rael Phillips, CEO of Totalstay, the property reflects a shift in how travellers are choosing to stay. “Across our portfolio, we’re seeing sustained demand for accommodation that allows guests to stay longer and settle in more comfortably.”
This includes remote workers, international visitors on extended trips and domestic travellers combining business and leisure, said Phillips, adding Horizon has been designed to meet that demand with a balance of flexibility and service.
The property’s beachfront location offers direct access to the Sea Point promenade, placing it within walking distance of restaurants, retail and leisure attractions. It adds to the city’s supply of mid- to upper-tier apartment-style accommodation.
