Newly renovated Winchester Hotel in Sea Point launches flame-inspired restaurant

THE redesign of the hotel of the property was led by Mardré Meyer, Creative Director at SOURCE Interior Architecture, who said that in reimagining what the hotel could be, it was important for him to reference and respect its past while also creating a more contemporary experience that fits with the needs and desires of today’s global traveller.

Many will be glad to see the iconic central courtyard has remained and has been enhanced with new tiling and the installation of a fountain.

The vibrant magenta of the bougainvillea growing down the walls adds a major “Instagrammable” factor to the space.

“We’ve really worked hard to retain the heart and soul of the property, while giving this grand old lady a fresh new look,” says General Manager Michael Liffmann.

With a fresh look comes a new restaurant called Shoreditch House, which has been brought to life by well-known restaurateur Rory Jossel.
