If you’ve ever driven through town, you’ll know the brilliant red lights dressing Hotel Sky’s building as something of a beacon of curiosity, like something from a film.
What is the futuristic-looking slice of life all about? Be prepared to step into another world – one of rollercoasters, robots and a perspective of Cape Town you’ve never seen before.
Here are 3 thrilling reasons to visit Hotel Sky in Cape Town:
1. There are actual robots
If you’re obsessed with technology and can’t get enough of the early robot era in the world, then you’ll definitely want to make your way hotel skyward to meet Ariel and Skyla – two robot concierges.
The pair are AI-powered and are designed to understand the assignment when it comes to all things concierge. But the tech doesn’t stop there. Hotel Sky even has a digital grand piano that will play the songs you pick, and door keys and room service that are app-based. Talk about a trip to the future!
2. There’s a rollercoaster that bullets you sky-ward
Have you ever related to Buzz Lightyear when all he wanted to do was fly and reach for the sky? Well, your wishes are about to come true. The hotel’s Sky-Hi Ride is an adrenaline junkie’s dream, reaching up to 100km/h as you acquaint yourself with the world above before dropping back down to Earth. It also reaches 146 metres above the city bowl – yikes, but in a good way.
The ride is only one of three in the world and a first for Africa, making it even more of a rare thrill. Now the ride isn’t for everyone (certainly not for those afraid of heights, shorter than 1.3 m or younger than 8) but if you make the cut, you’re in for a time.
3. You can Dine amongst the stars
If you’ve worked up an appetite after your encounters with robots and rollercoasters, Hotel Sky’s Infinity Restaurant is your next stop on the high-life itinerary, competing with other high-rise dining favourites.
The high-rise restaurant boasts quirky glamour, where 360-degree views of nature’s wonders from stars to the Cape’s oceans and mountains can be viewed all at Infinity – one of the trendiest spots in town.
Whether it’s a heavenly cocktail or a charming serving of comfort food while you gaze, Infinity will have you questioning where your favourite restaurant actually is.
Some of their menu options include the ultimate comfort foods like a delicious BBQ pulled pork burger or something elegant and simple like Sparta beef sirloin. Champagne? Yes, and make it French.
