A Masterful Redesign

In its latest transformation, The Cullinan has adhered to a design philosophy that respects its timeless classical aesthetic while introducing a contemporary twist. This careful balance is evident from the moment guests arrive. The newly tiled marble port cochere now greets visitors with a sense of elegance, setting the tone for their stay.

The lobby maintains its familiar pillars, while embracing a lighter, more modern colour palette. Stone and light beige hues replace the former yellow tones, complemented by stylish furnishings and rich mahogany woodwork.

Modern Luxury in Every Detail

Each of the conference areas on the mezzanine floor has been outfitted with state-of-the-art technology, including built-in Wi-Fi speakers and individual plug points for each delegate. This modern approach ensures a seamless and productive experience for all events.

The hotel’s culinary offering has also seen significant upgrades. Peachtree Restaurant now features a live cooking grill. The menu offers a selection of South African dishes with a unique twist, reflecting the rich culinary heritage of the region.

The new pool deck patio, with its built-in braai and pizza oven, is perfect for alfresco dinners and intimate group gatherings. This space is poised to become a favourite for braai-style conference lunches and dinners.

The bathrooms have been enhanced with illuminated mirrors, providing both functionality and style. The new infrastructure improvements, including updated air conditioning systems and optimised water temperature control, ensure a comfortable stay.

Reflecting on the extensive refurbishment, GM Jacques Moolman remarks, “The Cullinan has always been a symbol of elegance and luxury. Our goal with this refurbishment was to honour our heritage while embracing the future. We believe we have succeeded in creating a space that offers both timeless beauty and contemporary comfort.
