16 November 2009 marked the 1st anniversary of Relais Hotels’ newest property – Harbour Bridge Hotel & Suites. The pioneer establishment on the V&A Waterfront precinct alongside the Cape Town International Convention Centre has enjoyed good occupancy numbers and produced excellent results.

Members of the opening team namely Patsy Janson, Terence Duckitt, Dewald van den Berg, Ntombi Manikivana, Wendal Stevens and Shafiek Davids continue to offer their valuable services to the hotel. The year has sadly been marred by the untimely death of Bongi Ngcizinyati who passed away on 29 August. She was an integral member of the team whose laughter and smiles are sorely missed.

The most memorable mention must be made to the General Manager – Jaco Jacobs who has led the team with immense guidance and expertise. Under his directorship, Habour Bridge Hotel & Suites has grown from strength to strength and will continue to flourish in 2010 and beyond
