About us

newkings boutique hotel

Welcome to a royal stay at newkings boutique hotel, recently upgraded and now rated four stars by the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa. newkings boutique hotel owner Romao da Luz bought the block at 94 Regent Road in Sea Point, formerly housing the Spar and a parking lot, in 2000. In 2006 he demolished the existing buildings, building the 8-storey Piazza da Luz shopping centre, known predominantly for its flagship Spar and expanded Woolworths stores, and parking. Initially he planned to add apartments, but as the 2010 World Cup was held in our country, and there being a shortage of accommodation, Romao decided to turn the 3rd to 5th floors into a 42-bedroom hotel instead, naming it the newkings boutique hotel, the site having housed the Kings Hotel many years ago, named after the nearby Kings Road in Sea Point.

Recently the hotel was refurbished, a luxurious Gaia Gift and Decor Boutique was added, and an internationally-driven Zest restaurant has opened its doors in the hotel, independently operated and owned by Chef Pavel Dimitrov and his team. ‘We are delighted with the zest and energy which Zest Restaurant is giving our Hotel, and look forward to welcoming locals as well as visitors to Cape Town to stay at our hotel and to dine at Zest Restaurant ’, says Romao. newkings boutique hotel is located in the Piazza da Luz, offering not only a Spar and a Woolworths, but also a Spa, gym, and medical and skincare professionals.
