Morukuru Family launches AtholPlace Hotel & Villa

JOHANNESBURG, 14 August 2024

On 1 August, Morukuru Family officially relaunched AtholPlace Hotel & Villa in Atholl, Johannesburg, replacing the collection’s AtholPlace House & Villa and returning the property to its roots.

“Since 2020, the entire property has only been available for exclusive-use bookings. While AtholPlace Villa remains an option for exclusive use, the hotel now offers nine bedrooms for individual bookings. We hope to attract a broader market going forward, from international visitors en route to a safari or needing a stopover to corporate guests and those seeking a luxurious urban retreat,” said Morukuru Family co-owner Ed Zeeman.

AtholPlace Hotel offers four interleading Deluxe Rooms in the annexe building, each with views of the garden and pool, and accommodating up to two adults. There’s also a King Room and four Superior Suites on the main building’s first floor, both accommodating up to two adults and one child under 16 sharing.

Along with transforming the exclusive-use guesthouse into a boutique hotel, Morukuru Family also refreshed the property, infusing even more luxury into every room.

“Guests will enjoy new floors, carpets, and furniture, as well as a brighter pop of colour thanks to the fresh wallpaper. Each room also now has a casting system, allowing guests to connect their devices to the television and stream their own content,” commented Zeeman.

Other changes include an all-day dining menu, available between 11h00 and 21h00, and a refurbished reception area, lobby, bar, and dining room. Facilities at AtholPlace Hotel & Villa include a bar and library, a lounge area, a small fitness room, and a peaceful garden with a temperature-controlled pool. Limited secure off-street parking is available for guests’ convenience. The property is close to world-class shopping, dining, and the Gautrain Station.

“We’ve gone to great lengths to ensure our guests have access to everything they could want or need during their stay. Our dedicated team, led by General Manager Ryno van der Elst, looks forward to welcoming them with the five-star hospitality they expect and deserve,” Zeeman concluded.
