Yacht Racing at Table Bay
Sun International’s Table Bay Hotel on Cape Town’s harbor front, is touting itself as an ideal venue from which to watch the Volvo Ocean Race on November 4. On that day, seven yachts will enter Cape Town’s harbor as part of their round the global race, which spans 6,500 nautical miles.
The Volvo Ocean Race, formerly the Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race, starts in Alicante, Spain and visits Cape Town, Kochi, Singapore, Qingdao, Rio de Janeiro, Boston, Galway, Goteberg, Stockholm, finally finishing in St. Petersburg.
Elegant touch: Thanks to its prime location, the Table Bay Hotel offers its guests front row seats to watch the moored boats, while enjoying Afternoon Tea on the hotel’s terrace in the lobby or at its Atlantic Restaurant.
We hear there’s still space available at the hotel during the event. For more information, contact the United States Marketing & Sales Office of Sun International Hotels & Resorts at sainfo@sun-int.net; 954-331 8135.
