<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe newest EDITION hotel in Cape Town will be part of an expansive portfolio of luxury hotels which the group operates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group currently has 23 hotels in areas including Barcelona, Madrid, Rome and New York’s Times Square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EDITION’s Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader, George Fleck, said the move to Cape Town was due to several factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCape Town has a distinctive energy shaped by extraordinary landscapes, diverse influences and an exceptional culinary scene,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“As one of the world\u2019s most compelling cultural capitals, it is a natural home for EDITION.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
V&A Waterfront CEO, Graham Wood, said the new hotel was a sign of confidence for Cape Town’s tourism industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe opening of The Cape Town EDITION is an important milestone in the V&A Waterfront\u2019s continued evolution and a strong expression of confidence in Cape Town as a globally competitive tourism and investment destination,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The EDITION brings an exceptional international hospitality brand into a working harbour and connects it to the wider Waterfront neighbourhood through new dining, cultural and public-facing experiences.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It also signals the next chapter for Granger Bay: a well-connected waterfront district that creates long term value for Cape Town, our visitors and the communities we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tourism is a major industry in Cape Town<\/a>, accounting for roughly R24.5 billion in direct spending in 2025 and supporting over 106,000 jobs in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is largely driven by foreign tourism, which brought in approximately R19 billion in direct spending in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, the tourism industry makes up 6.3% of the city’s total gross added value, despite the sector contracting in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The year-on-year decline in tourism spending in 2025 was attributed to lower domestic spending, which dropped by 32%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A new EDITION hotel has launched in South Africa’s iconic Cape Town waterfront.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":131,"featured_media":882033,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"posted","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"2115792022573326446","_sma_facebook_post_id":"191437357620492_2253471125473286","_sma_instagram_post_id":"18111949055153449","_sma_x_attempts":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12755],"tags":[2279,24468,26984,14672],"class_list":["post-881976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-property","tag-cape-town","tag-edition","tag-marriott-bonvoy","tag-va-waterfront"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/881976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/131"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=881976"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/881976\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":882041,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/881976\/revisions\/882041"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/882033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=881976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=881976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=881976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
