Description
FOLLOWING THE PURCHASE OF THE MARINE BY LIZ MCGRATH IN FEBRUARY 1998 THE HOTEL HAS HAD A COMPLETE MAKEOVER AND IS ONCE AGAIN OPENED FOR BUSINESS. ALL THE WORLD CLASS QUALITY THAT HAS BECOME THE HALLMARK OF LIZ MCGRATHS OTHER TWO HOTELS - THE PLETTENBERG AND CELLARS-HOHENORT HAS OF COURSE ROUND ITS WAY TO HERMANUS. BUT THE MARINE IS DIFFERENT AGAIN USING THE BEST AND NEWEST TECHNIQUES AND FINISHES THAT WILL ENSURE IT BECOMES THE TALK OF THE CAPE. OLIVER COOKE THE GENERAL MANGER ARRIVED TO OPEN THE HOTEL IN OCTOBER LAST YEAR FROM EUROPE HAVING RUN ONE OF ENGLANDS MOST SUCCESSFUL FIVE STAR HOTELS IN BATH. HE HAS ASSEMBLED AROUND HIM A FINE TEAM OF EXPERT MANAGEMENT AND STAFF TO HELP DRIVE THE HOTEL TOWARDS THE NEXT MILLENNIUM. THREE EXCEPTIONALLY TALENTED INTERIOR DESIGNERS WORKED TIRELESSLY TO ENSURE THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF STYLE AND COM- FORT IN THE BEDROOMS. THE HOTEL HAS 47 INDIVIDUALLY DECORATED BEDROOMS AND SUITES - EACH WITH PRIVATE FACILITIES. MANY HAVE COMMANDING VIEWS ACROSS WALKER BAY OR INTO THE BEAUTIFUL INTERNAL COURTYARDS WITH SWIMMING POOL AND GARDEN. THE ORANGERY IS THE PLACE TO WHILE AWAY THE DAY WITH A GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE - A COCKTAIL OR EVEN AFTERNOON TEA WITH NOTHING BETWEEN YOU AND THE SOUTH POLE - OTHER THAN 3000 MILES OF OCEAN. ALTERNATIVELY THERE IS THE ADJOINING READING ROOM - PERFECT FOR QUIET CONTEMPLATION AFTER A BUSY DAYS WHALE WATCHING. DINING AT THE MARINE HAS HAD EQUALLY SPECIAL ATTENTION. SEAFOOD AT THE MARINE IS A BRIGHT NEW RESTAURANT IN THE MODERN IDIOM - WHERE THE ONLY SEA VIEW WILL BE ON A PLATE. THE ATMOSPHERE - INFORMAL AND BUSY BUT WITH THE EMPHASIS ON FRESH FISH AND GREAT STYLE. THE PAVILLION ON THE OTHER HAND - WITH GLORIOUS VIEWS FROM THE PRETTY INTERNAL COURTYARD THROUGH TO WALKER BAY IS MORE TRADITIONAL IN FEEL. IT SERVES AN ARRAY OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY FOOD USING THE FINEST SOUTH AFRICAN INGREDIENTS. THE MARINE HERMANUS IS A WELL ESTABLISHED TRADITION IN THE HISTORY OF HOTEL KEEPING IN SOUTH AFRICA. IT HAS BEEN WELCOMING GUESTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD - AND JUST AROUND THE CORNER FOR ALMOST A CENTURY. THIS TRADITION CONTINUES. THE HOTELS RESTAURANTS AND BAR ARE OPEN TO RESIDENTS AND NON-RESIDENTS ALIKE. SO THIS GRAND OLD LADY HAS NEVER LOOKED SO GLAMOUROUS - A FITTING TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO BUILT THE MARINE A CENTURY AGO AND TIMELY PREPARATION AS WE ENTER THE NEXT MILLENNIUM.
