But I just heard that their activities were stopped recently as they could not find people, or shops, or companies to buy their soccer balls. Sad story because it just looked like such a simple but great local initiative.
From the wine region back to highveld and the City of Gold.
I was in the revamped, renewed, done-up Rosebank Hotel yesterday for a business meeting. It’s now officially called Crowne Plaza The Rosebank. You really cannot recognize anything from the old hotel anymore. It’s totally different. The old one was like time had stood still in the early 70s and you expected Starsky and Hutch to walk in with some Bee Gees music playing in the background. It was a time warp machine.
The nouveau Rosebank is modern with am obvious 60s touch. Stylish. The large lobby feels like you are in a trendy London hotel. It would fit a James Bond movie. It has a Sean Connery-as-007 feel to it. But with that modern extra to it.
By the way, very nice colour panels in the elevators to the basement garage.
Check it out. It’s worth it. And certainly for those that passed through the old hotel, it’s worth the positive shock treatment.
Oh, and the glass of chilled Sauvignon Blanc was pretty nice too. And delivered with a smile.
