Tsogo Sun pull out all the stops

 

Tsogo Sun, the official accommodation partner to the Cape Argus Pick n Pay Momentum Cycle Tour, hosted around 1500 local and international cyclists over the 2014 race weekend.   Tsogo Sun’s Cape Town hotels pulled out all the stops to prepare them to tackle the world’s largest timed cycle race.

Tsogo Sun’s partnership with the growing sport of cycling also extends to the sponsorship of  the Bonitas Pro Cycling team.  Argus 2013 winner, Herman Fouche, comments: “We stay in Tsogo Sun hotels across the country whenever we are participating in a race away from home.  We feel very pampered preparing and relaxing in comfort. The hotels manage to accommodate all elements of our pre-race schedules and go the extra mile to meet our every request, even if it’s a power-packed breakfast at 3:30 in the morning!”

“The Argus has become an annual pilgrimage that showcases Cape Town as a world-class tourist destination.  From the minute guests check in, it’s all about creating a weekend experience that is much more than the event itself”, says John van Rooyen, Tsogo Sun Operations Director.

All Tsogo Sun hotels offered secure bike storage, a carbo-loading/protein packed dinner on the Saturday evening, early power breakfast from 4:30 on the Sunday, grab and go power snacks and specially chilled energy drinks.  After the race cyclists returned for much needed rest and easing of tired muscles with massage therapists, mustard bath salts, chilled drinks, draught beer and bubbly.

On the catering side Tsogo Sun’s chefs put in around 150 hours to tailor-make menus and meals.  Cyclists geared up with bananas, smoothies, pastas, baby potatoes, boiled eggs, salmon and other power-packed dishes.

With 45 years of experience and a portfolio of over 90 hotels and 14 casino and entertainment destinations, Tsogo Sun is the leading hotel and entertainment group in Africa, providing world-class accommodation across all market segments.  Taking pride in their ability to precisely offer a tailor-made experience to guests, this trusted brand delivered real customer satisfaction over the 2014 Cape Argus Pick n Pay Momentum Cycle Tour.
