The Maslow Hotel in Sandton, along with all Sun International restaurants and casino properties have temporarily closed, in line with new COVID-19 regulations announced by the President.
- The Group has also temporarily closed Sun City Resort and Wild Coast Sun.
- The Maslow Hotel in Sandton is home to The Lacuna Bar and Bistro, as well as an Africology Spa.
- Sun International properties in Gauteng will be closed up to and including July 15, including Carnival City.

The new regulations require our casinos and restaurants to close, but given the new restrictions on leisure travel into and out of Gauteng, alcohol, and the curfew, our hotels and resorts will struggle to operate, so we have taken a decision to temporarily close them too.

Existing Hotel reservations that are scheduled for arrival up to and including July 15 can be changed to an alternative date for stay by November 30 or canceled at no charge. All deposits will be refunded in case of cancellation. Similarly, Sun Vacation Club reservations can be postponed to a future date or space banked.
We are mindful that government is concerned about the risk of transmission and the need to curtail the rise in new infections. However, these restrictions will have a further negative impact on our tourism industry, the thousands of people employed, and the surrounding local communities. We remain hopeful that the worst of the latest COVID-19 outbreak will have subsided 14 days from now so that we can safely reopen our hotels, resorts, and casinos.

Instead of letting the many kilograms of fruit and vegetables from The Maslow Hotel kitchen go to waste, these will be used to feed those in the community who are most vulnerable – children and the elderly. Phutaditjaba Old Age Home and Disability Care Centre will be eating a little more and a little healthier this July as the result of this donation including 41 different fruits, vegetables, fresh juices, bread, milk, sausages, and various salads.
