Hilton end operations in Capetown City Centre
Global hotel chain will no longer operate Hilton Cape Town City Centre property from this weekend, as industry continues to struggle.
In another sign of the severe trauma being inflicted on the South African hospitality industry, Hilton Hotels is to relinquish its Hilton Cape Town City Centre property this weekend.
Business Insider reports that the global hotel chain will hand back the property in Buitengracht Street in the CBD area of the city to the owners, Millat Properties.
In a statement posted on its website, Hilton states simply: "as of 11 July 2020, Hilton Cape Town City Centre will cease to operate as a Hilton hotel. As a result, stays booked past this date will not accrue Honors points. Please contact the hotel directly with any questions."
Business Insider said a Hilton spokesperson had indicated the group had no plans to withdraw from the country.
