N FOR MAPUTO
HOTEL
Tsogo Sun is significantly increasing its investment in Mozambique’s
vibrant capital city, Maputo, with the construction of a brand new
R220-million hotel, StayEasy Maputo, located just 2km from the
group’s luxury Southern Sun Maputo Hotel, which itself had a R300-
million makeover in 2014 to emerge as the largest hotel in the city
with a total of 269 rooms.
“
Construction of the new 125-room hotel will begin mid-April
2017 and is scheduled to be completed by April 2018,” says
Mark Boyd, Director of Development Tsogo Sun Hotels.
“StayEasy Maputo is in a magnificent location, and being part
of a mixed use development, will undoubtedly be popular to
both business and leisure travellers looking for the best and
latest accommodation in the economy branded sector.”
Both these Tsogo Sun hotels boast prime locations on the
seafront in the Bay of Maputo, just 2km apart on the Avenida
da Marginal. The StayEasy Maputo will be built above the new Baia Mall
that is currently under construction, and situated on a portion of the old
Automoval Touring Clube de Maputo race track.
Says Marcel von Aulock, CEO of Tsogo Sun, “The time is right to increase
our footprint in this prime tourist destination, which attracts both
international and local travellers with its tropical climate, lush scenery,
golden beaches, diverse culture, and exquisite cuisine.” He adds that
the country’s growing economy contributed to the group’s decision to
boost its investment in Maputo. “We’re well established in the city, we
understand the market, and we’re delighted to be in a position to take
advantage of these growth opportunities.”
“Tsogo Sun maintains a vested interest in its real estate and is committed
to ensuring that its hotels remain relevant, fresh, and internationally
competitive,” adds von Aulock. “And all the offerings within the hotels
are key to achieving our goal of creating great experiences for our guests.
We believe this hotel will hold extra appeal for its exciting location above
a lively new mall – and we look forward to seeing it become a hotel
destination of choice for travellers.”
