The Winston Hotel bids farewell in High Tea style

According to Militant Investments Ceo, Hamza Farooqui said "this high-end 'pop-up' style experience breaks new ground in developing unique high tea experiences with quality beverages and food within a classic, indoor / outdoor setting."

Just Teddy hosted a signature high tea experience to bid farewell to The Winston Hotel before it enters a new era.

Speaking on October 26, Teddy Zaki, the owner of luxury dining café Just Teddy, said he was elated when his business was approached by Millat Investments for a high tea experience collaboration.

“It’s a weekend exercise which will start on October 29. The high tea is meant to see if there’ll be some sort of spark and if it’ll be an experience that will grow and be of interest when the hotel is reopened and refurbished,” said Zaki.

Millat Investments CEO Hamza Farooqui said the group acquired The Winston Hotel in June.

“Millat Investments signed an agreement with Hyatt Hotels that will see The Winston Hotel rebranded to the luxury Park Hyatt brand. Extensive refurbishment is scheduled to commence at the beginning of December, and the hotel will officially re-open as the Park Hyatt Johannesburg in early 2023,” he said.

“Just Teddy’s partnership with Millat Investments not only adds another layer to The Winston Hotel’s luxury offering but it lays the foundation for us to consider future partnerships in this sector. It makes sense to align our brands in this collaboration which has resulted in a unique experience.”

A guest, Sandra Smith added that she enjoyed the high tea experience and would be a regular at the newly refurbished hotel in the coming year.
