The Boardwalk Hotel is well and truly an ever-evolving gem on the Gqeberha coast.

Under the Sun International Hotel Group, the Boardwalk Hotel goes the extra mile to situate itself as a prestige hotel on the home frontier.

Having recently celebrated its 21 year anniversary, the entertainment mainstay shows no sign of slowing.

Boasting a range of entertainment and recreational activities, guests staying at the Boardwalk Hotel are treated to the premium experience of hotel-living – and what a privilege to behold.

Upon guests’ arrival, hotel staff are courteous and personal, leaving no stone unturned to make them feel right at home.

Their indoor heated pool is a 1920s classic dream in all its opulent glory, and a welcome convenience in the colder months.

A cornerstone for anyone who has ever been a hotel guest, the Boardwalk Hotel understood the assignment; handling guests with utmost professionalism and prioritising that all-important personal touch; from arranging of luggage collection and drop-offs, together with a reception desk which responds promptly, to room service and maintenance requests with a smile that can be heard over the telephone.

A beacon of international standards on the Bay’s shores, the Boardwalk Hotel covers all bases when it comes to hotel living.

Their room offerings include single room-only options, duplexes inclusive of a living space which opens into expansive views of the bluest blue Indian ocean, as well as suites to catapult you into the lap of presidential luxury.

Another convenient offering is that of adjoining rooms which accommodate smaller families who may seek to make the Boardwalk Hotel their home away from home this holiday season.

Dropping in and wanting to stay in? The Boardwalk Hotel goes far to provide guests with a balanced variety of bars and restaurants if you’re not all that keen on room service.

Popular favourites remain those of a wholesome breakfast buffet at Kipling’s Brasserie and the delectable dinner buffet at the Bayside Pantry inside the Boardwalk Casino.

Other on-site food and drink services include the Sun Cafe and their Prive and Tshawe Bars.

Guests checking in or checking out can bide their time in the Boardwalk Hotel’s stylish lobby lounge.

And the buck certainly does not stop here. Guests have the option of enjoying their leisure time either at the outdoor pool overlooking the ocean and Marine Drive, or opting to stay in to enjoy their magnificent classic indoor heated pool.

For guests seeking beyond just recreation, the Boardwalk provides the ideal environment for the marrying of both work and play; offering a range of fully-equipped conference and meeting rooms.

Moreover, the Boardwalk International Convention Centre is an event sanctuary, with the provision of banqueting teams and audiovisual equipment for a personalised event on request, to make yours an event to remember.

A major draw card remains those ocean views, and near-immediate proximity to Gqeberha’s beautiful beaches, alongside ready access to the Boardwalk’s Camelot Spa for some real down time, and an on-site gym for the fitness enthusiast.

Across the board, hotel staff are exemplary in building rapport with each and every guest – and this is truly what makes one’s stay all the more special.

Whether you’re on the hunt for that hard-to-find stay-cation, or you’re dropping in from out of town, the Boardwalk Hotel has an option tailored to your need.

This beachfront oasis and pillar of entertainment and recreation in the Bay for as long as most can remember continues to push the envelope, and with developments and ongoing renovations just next door to their hotel property, the Boardwalk is scheduled to open the doors to its pioneering shopping mall in September 2022 – turning it into the ultimate lifestyle and culture epicentre.
