Managing
Director Abilio Frazzitta has created a contemporary and up-market oasis
in the heart of the mother city, in the midst of the bustling melting pot
that is Long Street, attracting corporate clients from the advertising
and film industries as well as advocates from nearby Keerom Street to its
sleek-lined interior.
The
result of Abilio’s vision is a breath of fresh air for the city. It’s an
intimate hotel for tourists or corporate clients, with the hallmark comforts
of a guesthouse and the combined status of a top-notch hotel.
Stepping
into Urban Chic’s foyer from the busy street is an experience that instills
a sense of calm as cool contemporary touches blend with classical lines. |
A
Bottocino marble staircase with a balustrade in stainless steel, wood and
glass sweeps immediately up to the Gallery Cafe.
The
unique Gallery Cafe comes complete with ultra-now minimalist design and
a classy, passionate culinary style.
But
just below, overlooking Long Street, the relaxed Cigar Bar perches above
the thronging crowds… the perfect watering hole for the weary traveler
wanting to refresh, watch sport beamed in by satellite on the plasma screen
or discuss the day’s events over a thirst-quenching cocktail with attitude,
while watching the passing parade! If you have business in mind, take advantage
of the complimentary wireless connectivity linking you, via your laptop,
with the pulse of the world. |

At
the mezzanine Gallery Cafe, hotel guests and patrons alike enjoy a culinary
symphony of note among an eclectic selection of local art. The Gallery
Cafe is a wonderfully cosmopolitan and alternative venue for a chic corporate
lunch for up to 80, or, with the enclosed terraces hived off for intimacy,
you can celebrate any occasion privately, with music beamed to you, to
complement the fine, South African soul food dishes.
For
guests staying over, there’s a choice of twenty individually appointed
bedrooms – each with its own en suite bathroom. The decor is a subtle combination
of honeyed Spanish marble, warm textured carpets, African mahogany furniture
and crushed linen curtains complemented by the contemporary artwork of
Alexander Krenz. Some rooms have Zen-like sliding screens so that views
of the city, Table Mountain, Lion’s Head or Signal Hill can also be appreciated
from the comfort of one’s bath. |
Each
room has a broad-band ADSL connection, a mini safe, air conditioning and
double glazing to mask the exuberant buzz from the sidewalk below. There’s
a range of specially formulated toiletries, from bath salts to hand creams,
for self-pampering. Courtesy branded snacks such as dried fruit and nut
selections are on hand, including refreshments from the mini bar – hidden
from sight to complete the aura of restfulness.
Urban
Chic also offers underground parking for hotel guests. Stepping into the
ambiance of vibrant Long Street, you find yourself among a myriad of arts
and craft stores, booksellers, restaurants with cuisines of all persuasions,
bistro-cafe’s and colonial architecture reminiscent of the New Orleans’
French quarter. |

Whether
you’ve come to the city for some serious shopping, to sample the pulsating
nightlife, or for a touch-down business trip, and seek the luxury of a
home away from home – close to the action – with a king-sized bed and goose
down pillows after a long, long day… then Urban Chic on Long is the haven
that you deserve.
