Sun City Hotel Gets Revitalised

Posted on by

I first visited Sun City in 1989. I was 15 years old and my mom had just passed away.

My Uncle Lennie and Aunty Sylvia and his family took me along with them on their family vacation to Sun City. I had never been on a holiday before, let alone on a plane!

So I was beyond excited to get away from the reality of life without my beloved mom, even for a week.  These vintage archival images are what I remember Sun City looked like.

36 years later and I was invited to experience the newly revitalised Sun City Hotel.

Sun City has had “nips and tucks” over the years, but last year Sun International set about giving the famous entertainment and leisure area a complete facelift so gone is the drab, and back is the dazzle.

 A few select media and influencers were invited by Sun City to experience the newly re-imagined Sun City Hotel for one night. We met at the Maslow in Sandton, and 3 hours later, we arrived at the Sun City Resort in the North West Province of South Africa.
