Premier Hotel

Premier Hotels & Resorts has begun construction of a new hotel in Umhlanga in KwaZulu-Natal. The Premier Hotel will consist of a 121 key 4-star hotel restaurant, swimming pool and gym, while the Splendid Inn by Premier will feature 64 3-star bedrooms and its own eatery. Guests at both hotels will have sea views from every bedroom and access to the on-site conferencing facility capable of accommodating up to 400 delegates. "Our decision to invest in Umhlanga is due to our desire to have properties in every major South African city, as well as in all secondary cities," says Samuel Nassimov, the hotel chain's founder and managing director. "We have decided to offer two brand options in Umhlanga so that everyone can enjoy the Premier experience at price that suits their budget." Situated in Umhlanga Ridge, the new development is close to the Gateway Theatre of Shopping and to the local business district. With a new bridge and slipway to the N2 being built, guests will have easy access to the new airport as well. SERVICES AND OUTCOME Full project management and principal agent service.
