Business tourism bolstered as iconic hotel reopens in Centurion

Legacy Hotels & Resorts is pleased to announce that one of its most established properties, The Centurion Hotel, has reopened its doors to guests in April.

The property, best-known for its spacious rooms, convenient location and friendly, efficient service, was built in 1991 as an easy and comfortable stayover option for visitors to Centurion, and was temporarily closed amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, three years later, having undergone a recent refurbishment, guests can once again look forward to visiting this iconic hotel in the heart of Centurion.

It’s convenient location, just 500 metres from the Gautrain Station, with its reliable and regular train service to and from OR Tambo International Airport, 900 metres from the Supersport Park cricket grounds, plus direct gate access into the Centurion Mall with its plethora of shops and restaurants, makes this hotel an easy choice for all types of travellers to the area.

“The Centurion Hotel has always been an entrenched part of the Legacy portfolio and will continue to be an iconic place to stay, work and play. The hotel has enjoyed some recent upgrades to give it a slightly more contemporary look and feel, as well as to tap into the new-world movement of remote working,” said Neil Yates, managing director of the Legacy Hotels & Resorts Group.

Digital nomads will find The Centurion Hotel’s high-speed Wi-Fi and newly designed lounge, fitted with work pods and charging stations, ideal. There is also direct access to fast, fresh and delicious coffee and cuisine delivered directly to one’s pod while one works.

Public areas have been refitted with modern flooring, and reupholstered furniture and painters have been hard at work giving both internal and external areas a new lick of paint.

The hotel’s spacious and comfortable rooms, with views over the pool below or towards the Supersport Park Cricket Stadium, have been kitted for work, sleep and play, to ensure guests get the most from their stay.

For guests who fancy a drink with colleagues or friends, the bar has been redesigned and fitted with a lighter, brighter look and feel and offers a drinks menu of both local and international favourites.

Bruno’s Restaurant, the hotel’s on-site eatery, will be offering guests a new menu filled with fast, fresh and flavoursome food. Dishes will be a celebration of simple favourites crafted for delicious and easy, in and out dining, and as always, guests can expect a relaxed atmosphere and service with a smile.

Finally, the hotel offers a range of function rooms available for both big and small conferences. Competitive pricing and a highly trained team, whose efficient, professional approach to conferences has given them a formidable reputation for delivering great results, seals its spot as the top event venue in the area.

“The business of reopening a hotel is no small task and our staff have been working around the clock to ensure the hotel is able and ready to usher in our first guests. This is an incredibly positive step for the Legacy Hotel & Resorts Group as we see the demand for business tourism return to the area,” said Kamala Douglas, general manager of The Centurion Hotel.
