There will be five venues accommodating 20 to 120 people for conferences, incentives, weddings and executive meetings.
A small shopping mall on the ground floor will have coffee shops, gourmet restaurants and other shops.
Other facilities will include a concierge service, a fitness centre, a pool and sun deck with views of the city and Table Mountain, a private movie theatre, a wellness spa and secure under-cover parking. Pepper Club’s guest courtesy fleet will include a Rolls Royce Phantom. Developers, Solomon Brothers Property Holdings, promise luxury and modern finishes of a standard “not previously seen in Cape Town”.
