Pearl Valley Hotel – South Africa
The Pearl Valley Hotel by Mantis: a new
contemporary luxury hotel in a timeless setting
Orientated to maximise the exceptional views
afforded by its magnificent setting, the first
phase of the Pearl Valley Hotel by Mantis at
Pearl Valley, part of Val de Vie Estate, is near
completion. Guests will stay, play and relax
in sophisticated, understated luxury with
the assurance of the outstanding levels of
professionalism and hospitality associated with
Val de Vie Estate and Mantis, the respected
conservation-conscious group of hotels and
eco-escapes that has developed and manages
the hotel.
M
aximising exposure to the
beautiful location and views
framed by the mountain
peaks was key for Francois
Theron, Director of FDT
Architects. To achieve the
brief for a hotel consisting of
both single and double suites
while limiting massing on the
site, he conceived a design of
double-storey residences, seamlessly contextualised
within the current landscape at Pearl Valley, and
incorporating existing trees to break the scale.
