Sun International’s Table Bay Hotel has closed its doors to undergo a refurbishment and to reopen as InterContinental Table Bay, Cape Town by December 2025.
Sun International will continue to manage and operate the hotel on behalf of the V&A Waterfront under a new franchise agreement with IHG Hotels & Resorts.
“Our last guests checked out on Saturday (the 15th of February 2025), marking the end of an unforgettable chapter. As we pack up furniture, fixtures, and cherished memories, we do so with a mix of nostalgia and excitement. This is not goodbye – it’s au revoir. When we reopen, the heart of The Table Bay will remain the same: our incredible staff, whose warmth and dedication have made this hotel feel like home to so many,” comments Table Bay’s GM, Joanne Selby.
Since opening in May 1997, the Table Bay Hotel has been a beacon of world-class hospitality having hosted royalty, rock stars, world leaders, and sports legends.
“For almost 30 years, we have proudly owned and operated The Table Bay, positioning it as an award-winning icon of elegance and excellence. While this marks the end of an era, we eagerly anticipate its next chapter. Together with the V&A Waterfront and IHG, Sun International is honoured to be part of this incredible Hotel’s transformative journey to becoming an InterContinental Hotel, at what is undeniably one of the best Hotel addresses in the world, and to delivering an even greater experience for our guests,” says Sun International CEO Anthony Leeming.
The InterContinental Table Bay, Cape Town will feature 306 beautifully designed rooms and suites, offering breathtaking views of Table Mountain, the harbour, and the Atlantic Ocean with guests continuing to enjoy direct access to the V&A Waterfront.
