The Sun City Hotel will undergo a complete upgrade of all 340 rooms, bedroom corridors, bedroom terraces and the Sun Terrace, with work beginning in August.
The refurbishment, which will be carried out in phases, is expected to be completed by November 2026.
The first 67 renovated rooms will be ready by the end of November 2024, just in time for the Nedbank Golf Challenge.
Julius Ramotse, General Manager of Hospitality at Sun City, told Travel News that the refurbishment would cost R350 million.
“Paying homage to the rich Tswana culture and the unique surrounds of Sun City, the new Sun City Hotel Interiors combine comfort with craft in creating a uniquely African experience,” said Ryan Illgner, Director of Blacksmith Interior Inspiration.

Visitors can book courts for R450 per hour for four players, excluding equipment and balls, through the Playtomic app. Bookings can also be made via their hotel rooms, MVG cards, or at the Padel court’s point of sale.
