Pretoria’s Town Lodge Menlo Park is currently undergoing a full interior refurbishment, worth R22 million (€1.3m), with new designs and finishes being added to its communal and leisure spaces.

Each of the hotel’s 106 bedrooms have been redesigned with new furniture, fabrics and vinyl flooring. More connectivity points have also been installed in each room, including USB ports and international plugs for foreign visitors.

Andrew Widegger, City Lodge Hotel Group’s CEO, says: “We have several properties scheduled for refurbishment this year, as we strive to maintain and modernise our product. We also used the opportunity to add new features in line with guest feedback, such as additional connectivity, as we tailor our hotels to wow our business and leisure guests.”

The first wing of bedrooms are due to be completed by March 22, with the hotel returning to full trading by May 1.
