Fairmont Zimbali to Open Ahead of World Cup

17 March 2010

Construction work is in progress at the Fairmont Zimbali Hotel in Ballito, South Africa, and it is expected to have a soft launch in mid-May this year ahead of the FIFA World Cup.

The R400m ($53.8m) hotel, featuring 156 rooms, will have a grand launch after the World Cup, according to iol.co.za.

In August 2009, contractors Liviero Building halted construction on the site over a R18m ($2.4m) payment row with the Kuwait-based developers IFA Hotels and Resorts.
