HOTEL NEWS and RENOVATIONS
Indaba Hotel launches their Mowana Spa Opening Specials.
Set in the tranquil bushveld gardens of the Indaba Hotel in Fourways, Sandton, the Mowana Spa is a wellness sanctuary
which will revive your senses, rejuvenate your body and soothe your soul. The Mowana Spa, which takes its name from the
majestic Baobab Tree of African Lore and Legend, offers wellness journeys based on tribal massage in keeping with the
healing spirit of the “Tree of Life”.
Drawing on the wisdom of Africa, the Mowana Spa Baobab signature product range harnesses the natural moisturising
properties of the baobab kernel which produces a rich, golden oil used for centuries by African women to protect their
beautiful skins against the harsh African sun.
Our commitment to service excellence and staff empowerment through training and mentoring will ensure that your needs
are met and your expectations exceeded as you enjoy a day of African rejuvenation with the “Mowana Makoya Journey” or
indulge your senses with the “Mowana Time-Out Pamper”.
The MOWANA SPA – only 15km's from Sandton … A MILLION MILES AWAY !
Manhattan Hotel will be closing from the 14 December until the 6 January 2013
As Pretoria is not a holiday destination the hotel is extremely quiet ovr this period and we will therefore use this time to do
annual repairs and maintenance, ensuring that we provide our clients with a consistently well-maintained hotel.

The Ascot Hotel which has been around since the late 1950's has just recently opened its doors again - revealing a beautifully
renovated 4 star graded boutique hotel that would be perfectly at home in Paris, Italy or New York. With 15 uniquely styled guest
rooms, a bar that would make any whiskey lover swoon, lounge and restaurant area - it has truly become a home away from home for
many corporate travellers. There is also free Wi-Fi, a small Gym and a 20 seater fully equipped boardroom.
Service excellence is tantamount as is the carefully chosen Bistro style food on the menu. The restaurant is open to outside guests and
the hotel is fast becoming known as a wonderful entertainment venue. Friday nights are filled with corporates enjoying sundowners
and cocktails whilst swaying to the house beats of the DJ's that set the tone for a chilled weekend. Every Saturday night sees live
entertainment with recorded artists entertaining guests who dine in the restaurant.
Overseas guests love the warm hospitality that they receive as well as the shuttle service offered by the hotel that escorts them to sites
around the City of Gold. The Ascot Boutique Hotel offers extremely well-priced room rates and is truly a fantastic experience for all
who walk through her doors.
