Always good to learn something new about the city...There's some great information on that site, Beverley; thanks for the link. Interesting that they took their photo of the hotel on the opposite diagonal to Paul's one. :) Thanks for the info, Michael, and thanks for investigating it a bit further, Guinivea.

One of them is the Holiday Inn. It was originally a townhouse and was the only one that was not demolished. It was used by the Shell Oil Company as their Head Office in Cape Town until 1979 and was then converted to a 170 room hotel which is still there today." Thanks for such an interesting post...I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned something new today!!! Michael, after reading your post I did a little search and found this snippet on Turtle SA Tours Site
