This September, The President Hotel in Cape Town is celebrating Tourism Month with a focus on “tourism and peace,” embracing the season of renewal and inviting guests to experience tranquility and rejuvenation through its “Peace within and peace without” approach to spring festivities. The hotel is offering a range of activities and packages designed to promote inner well-being and the joy of shared experiences, providing something for everyone, whether they seek calm, adventure, or a taste of local culture.
“Our Tourism Month offerings reflect our commitment to creating a welcoming environment for all, while encouraging our guests to find balance and contribute positively to the world around them,” says Reinard Korf, General Manager of The President Hotel. Here’s a closer look at what’s in store for guests this month:
Serene Stays
Guests can enjoy a unique stay that combines rest, relaxation, and wholesome, healthy food with the Serenity Stay offer. This exclusive Tourism Month package includes a luxurious overnight stay in an ocean-facing room, a delicious lunch at the newly refurbished Botany Café, and a 30-minute back, neck, and shoulder massage at the Cove Wellness Spa. Designed to promote inner peace through self-care, this offer provides the perfect blend of relaxation and rejuvenation.
Mindful Moments
To welcome spring—the season of revival—the hotel is reigniting its free yoga sessions every morning on the lawns, set against the soothing sounds of the Atlantic Ocean. These sessions offer a serene start to the day, promoting mindfulness and inner peace. For those who prefer a more active approach to relaxation, the hotel’s daily guided promenade walks and jogs encourage physical and mental well-being. Guests can unwind, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy some much-needed me-time. For a bit more adventure, guests can rent bikes and electric scooters at the hotel to explore the scenic promenade and surrounding areas, blending exercise with exploration.
Everyone’s Invited
To celebrate Heritage Day, The President Hotel will host a feast that captures the essence of South Africa’s “rainbow nation” hospitality. On Sunday, 22 September, the hotel will light up the braai (barbecue), showcasing a buffet spread of diverse local flavors and dishes such as boerewors, tripe curry, chakalaka, malva pudding, milk tart, and much more. This colorful buffet offers guests a chance to experience South African unity through a traditional braai in a relaxed Cape Town atmosphere, complemented by a beautiful setting.
Celebrate World Tourism Day
On 27 September, The President Hotel has planned a special celebration for World Tourism Day. In-house guests will enjoy peace-inspired treats, special offers on spa treatments, and a soothing yoga session by the pool. The day will also feature free wine tastings, snacks, and drinks with the General Manager and team, ending with a soulful jazz session. It’s a day dedicated to connecting with nature, finding peace, discovering new experiences, and meeting people from all walks of life.
