In these rooms, royalty in the form of then Princess Elizabeth, once stayed. Just doing a bit of research today, I found another reason why it closed down. A sad story about red tape and bureaucracy at play. The last lessee, the Kapp family, had wanted to upgrade and re-furbish the hotel in the 1990s. The owners, the Natal Parks Board (later to become Ezemvelo), was not willing to negotiate a long-term lease. With the family's 20-year-old lease up in 2000, they were not ready to run the hotel on a month-to-month basis. The Natal Parks Board had advertised that the hotel was closing down, and because of that, bookings dried up. A year later the Natal Parks Board changed its mind and asked if the Kapp family would renew the lease. But by then, the hotel had lost its market share and it was all too late. When you see everything falling down And there's nothing you can do. Stay positive, even in a negative situation... AND YOU WIN When life give you lemons๐, slice them up and find tequila...๐ธ Have a great day everyone โจ๐๐ธ๐โจ๐๐ธ๐โจ๐๐ธ๐โจ
