HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
AT THE PRESIDENT.
Dear Guest,

Thank you for choosing to stay at The President this festive season. The team and I are delighted to
have you stay with us and assure you that you and your family will experience the best of what Cape
Town has to offer. A warm welcome back to our returning guests. We thank you for your loyalty and
support and are thrilled to have you back with us this year.

There have been some exciting changes at the hotel during the year. The beautiful and captivating
photography that was shot for us by local and talented Sacha Specker was installed in eighty percent of
the bedrooms and corridors. Each of the floor has a unique theme and tells a wonderful story of what
the Cape has to offer in Culture, Flora, Fauna, the Ocean and one of our iconic leaders that re-opened the
hotel in 1998, none other than the great Nelson Mandela.

We are proud to announce that we have recently introduced the local Cape Town brand of coffee,
Bootleggers, to all our outlets. Bootleggers started in 2012 by three Capetonian friends and has since
expanded into multiple businesses in Cape Town and Johannesburg.

We are also very excited to have launched our electric bicycle and scooter tours for a carefree outing on
the Promenade or a sunrise cycle to Hout Bay. The bicycles and scooters will be conveniently available
                                                                                                                 ENTER OUR BEST OF

                        The festive season is a time of giving and the President Hotel
                    believes strongly in giving back to a variety of different organisations
                    throughout the year. This festive season we have chosen to support
                   local non-profit organisations. We encourage you to participate in our
                  annual Tree of Joy project and help us make a difference by supporting
                                                   them too.

                                Please donate an item for our Tree of Joy:
