This comes after Marriott International terminates management agreement in the wake of Covid-19 economic fallout.
JSE-listed hospitality giant Tsogo Sun Hotels has stepped in to prevent the permanent closure of the historic Edward Hotel on Durban’s beachfront and Mount Grace Country House & Spa in Magaliesburg, as well as the Protea Hotel by Marriott Hazyview in Mpumalanga.
Tsogo Sun Hotels, which was unbundled from Tsogo Sun Holdings last year to create separate hotel and gaming groups, put out a statement on Saturday clarifying that as the majority owner of the properties it has no plans to close down the hotels permanently. The group has previously told Moneyweb that due to the impact of Covid-19 and anticipated lower demand, some of its hotels will likely only reopen in a year’s time. Despite limited domestic business travel now allowed under eased Covid-19 travel restrictions, hotel and leisure groups such as Tsogo Sun Hotels, Sun International and City Lodge Hotel Group have opted to keep many properties closed.
The bosses at Tsogo Sun Hotels believe that the properties affected by the Marriott move, have potential and will fit in well within the group’s hotel management side.
