AN iconic building that dominates the skyline as one of Cape Town’s tallest residential developments has evolved to provide the perfect on-trend solution to meet the changing demands of travellers. One Thibault Square, formally known as the LG Building or the BP Centre, is a 126.5-metre modernist skyscraper on Thibault Square in Cape Town that has been reimagined into an “aparthotel”, offering unending vistas of the city, Table Bay harbour, the Atlantic Ocean, Robben Island and Table Mountain. In fact, the building offers some of the highest accommodation in Cape Town on the 28th floor.
Aparthotels appeal to a broad spectrum of digital nomads and leisure travellers. According to ITC Hospitality Group, the trend toward aparthotels is particularly prevalent amongst corporate travellers who may be looking for extended-stay accommodation whilst working remotely.
“To add to the appeal of the aparthotel offering, One Thibault doesn’t experience load-shedding and is conveniently close to Cape Town’s financial district, the CTICC, V&A Waterfront and the Cape Quarter, making it central for corporate and leisure travel. In addition, the building offers 24-hour security personnel, concierge services and easy access to transportation hubs.
ITC Hospitality Group’s portfolio includes Cartwright’s Corner, 16 On Bree, Docklands, Icon Apartments, The Onyx, The Decks, Rockwell, Market House, Canterbury Square, Mutual Heights and Adderley Residence.
