The city’s largest ever hotel development, the  260-room Premier Hotel Cascades is located adjacent the new East London International Convention Centre (ELICCC), setting the tone as both a high end leisure and business-convention destination.

The Premier Hotel Cascades – built in a towering yet graceful form with a series of tiered floors – is also the city’s most luxurious hotel with facilities including a Camelot Spa & hi-tech gym, both which are to open soon, rim-flow swimming pool, fine dining restaurant, free wi-fi connection, business centre, public and VIP lounges, on-site parking and soon also offering 24 hour room service .

Decorated in a contemporary style which draws upon the Eastern Cape’s unique culture for inspiration, the spacious hotel rooms - from Deluxe rooms to One Bedroom suites with their own lounges – cater to both convention & touring groups as well as the discerning traveller and offer unsurpassed sea views.  All are kitted out with organic Green Earth amenities.

Taking pride of place, the hotel will soon open its luxurious Camelot Spa and state-of-the-art gymnasium which includes a steam room and relaxation area, the perfect place to unwind and gaze out at the ocean. One of the country’s leading spa groups, Camelot has spas throughout Southern Africa and this is its first in the region.

The Premier Hotel Cascades will also offer some elegant dining in the city at the chic restaurant with fine wines available from the bar cellar.

Apart from its own dedicated boardrooms, the hotel presents itself as the destination of choice for delegates attending conventions at the next-door ELICC, a R500 million rand development which has changed the face of East London’s Esplanade.

“The development will not only bring competitive conference & incentive travel to East London but to also significantly upgrade Orient Beach and the Esplanade as a leisure destination,” says Samuel Nassimov MD of Premier Hotels & Resorts.

Nassimov says a new low-rise leisure, dining and shopping area will also be developed facing the beach, creating a welcome return to the area as a premium lifestyle space in East London.

Managed by the Premier Hotels group, the state-of-the-art ELICC includes a 580-seater auditorium, an exhibition floor (taking up to 110 stands) and a major hall capable of seating 850 ball-room style and 2200 cinema-style as well as board-rooms, restaurants and kitchens.

Interior décor reflects both an African sense of place and the cosmopolitan style of international convention centre's.
 
And if relaxing back at the hotel & spa aren’t enough, guests can take a short stroll to the nearby beaches for which the Eastern Cape and East London in particular are renowned for,  while nearby superb golf courses, museums, game reserves and spectacular scenery present an opportunity to explore the Sunshine and Wild Coasts like never before.
