With the arrival of Summer in Cape Town, its star-lit skyline as a backdrop and fresh, sea air to wash away the Covid blues, the President Hotel has ushered in the season with their ever-popular Savanna Summer Silent Movie Nights showcasing all-time favourites for a girl’s night out, a family affair or romantic romp.
Joanne Clayton, Marketing and Brand Manager at the President Hotel says this revival of their cinema under the stars is a good way to welcome locals back to the hotel, and provide an added experience for guests who may be travelling for business or leisure.
She adds that from a facilities perspective, an outdoor cinema tackles a lot of the social-distancing issues that lockdown has presented.
“We have applied all the required hygiene and health protocols as set out by the WHO, but without compromising on the experience – the smell of popcorn, the big screen, and the sound turned way up!” Clayton explains.
The movie schedule kicks off on Thursday, 5 November with Clueless, a must for the ladies followed by –
November 12 – 500 Days of Summer
November 19 -The Devil Wears Prada
November 26 – A Star is Born
December 3 – How Stella Got Her Groove Back
December 10 – Jerry Maguire
Tickets are R290 per person and include a bean bag (first come first serve for your spot on the turf), popcorn, Whispers, headphone rental, gourmet picnic box, and a Savanna. And if you fancy the VIP treatment, for R490 per person you get a reserved front row, lounge seat, headphone rental, popcorn, Lindt chocolates, Pongracz, Savanna, VIP picnic box, and a gift! Doors open at 6pm and the movie starts at 8pm.
Joanne recommends taking advantage of their sleepover special where you can watch the movie from your balcony and make a night of it.
