The redesign by 1508 London preserved the hotel's heritage while introducing modern elements. The hotel features luxurious accommodations, including waterfront penthouse suites, and offers stunning views of Table Mountain and the V&A Waterfront. The new restaurant, Heirloom, led by South Africa-based French chef Gregory Czarnecki, offers a contemporary minimalist dining experience with a focus on South African ingredients.
