Guests walked around and experience the different elements on each floor.
Rockets founder and CEO Sean Barber said the inspiration for this revamp was a natural progression.
“Over time, we noticed many similarities from new competitors in terms of the elements of our design, making it crucial for us to innovate and set ourselves apart once again.
“Our goal was to create something unique on every floor that couldn’t be replicated, bringing Rockets into a new era,” he added.
For the past seven years, Rockets Bryanston has offered exclusive areas tailored to discerning guests. From intimate private dining rooms ideal for small gatherings to a champagne bar and cognac lounge, there’s no shortage of opulent spaces to explore.
Barber said their loyal customer feedback played a crucial role in shaping the revamp.
“Our regulars were vocal about their concerns that many places looked like Rockets. Listening to our patrons, especially those who experienced the Rockets Beach Club, was key.
“They emphasised the need for Bryanston to have a facelift that matched the innovation and uniqueness of the Beach Club and the Rockets brand as a whole. Our customers deserved a fresh, cutting-edge experience, and that’s exactly what we’ve delivered.”
