The Four Seasons Hotel Westcliff Johannesburg will offer views of the city
Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts is set to open the Four Seasons Hotel Westcliff Johannesburg in the second quarter of 2014, following a management agreement to take over the city’s Westcliff Hotel. Once it reopens, the refurbished hotel, which has been closed for renovations since June 30, will feature a new spa and fitness centre, an outdoor pool and new restaurants and bars.
Scott Woroch, executive vice president, worldwide development, for Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts said: "Africa's economic growth, improved stability and ease of travel have made the continent increasingly attractive to luxury travellers and to Four Seasons. Having a property in Johannesburg, the gateway to southern Africa, is essential as we explore opportunities for growth in South Africa and across the continent."
Sebastien Carre, who has been with Four Seasons since 2003, and has previously worked at a range of Four Seasons properties, including the Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh, the Four Seasons Hotel Washington and the Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, has been appointed general manager.
