Aha The Rex Hotel, in Knysna, is undergoing an extension. Construction began in December 2016 and is expected to be completed by November 2017.
A total of 56 new hotel rooms will be added, which will include the same combination of contemporary and classic décor. The reception and foyer area will also be refurbished and relocated. A new pool and landscaped gardens will be added with most rooms overlooking this courtyard.
A new restaurant will be added to the guest experience and will be open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
“The extension of the property is estimated at R65m (€4.5m) and will further complement the hotel’s aesthetic charm, yet still maintain its timeless elegance. Most importantly, however, it will offer more enriched services and exceptional comfort to our guests, presenting the same delightful experiences that are synonymous with aha,” said Neil Bald, aha Hotels & Lodges CEO.
The construction is not attached to the existing building and will therefore not have an adverse impact on guests’ stay.
