Tsogo Sun has relaunched the De Waal Cape Town hotel in Gardens as SunSquare Cape Town, following a R35m refurbishment and rebranding.
Speaking at a media launch on October 30, Tsogo Sun CEO, Marcel von Aulock, said the 40-year-old property had been given a new lease of life with a more contemporary style and modern features. All 136 rooms have been revamped, and the lobby now extends into a new bar area and terrace next to a new restaurant. The conference rooms can accommodate up to 120 people. 
Von Aulock said the relaunch was an example of Tsogo Sun’s focus on product relevance and was in line with the continuing rejuvenation of the Cape Town city bowl.  He said Tsogo Sun – a R30bn company – was spending R1bn on property maintenance and R6bn on expansion in South Africa.
