StayEasy by Southern Sun, Southern Sun’s budget hotel brand previously trading under the name Holiday Inn Express, currently operates four successful properties in Cape Town, Pretoria, Johannesburg and Nelspruit. Due to the success of these hotels, Southern Sun management has made a conscious decision to focus on expanding this brand and the first location identified has been Rustenburg, situated in the North West province.

StayEasy Rustenburg is currently under construction and the official opening is planned for October 2008.

Southern Sun is committed to adhering to sound, environmentally conscious, building principles and with this in mind, StayEasy Rustenburg features heat recovery from the air conditioning chillers for the production of “free” hot water and a well insulated building shell thereby conserving cooling and heating power. Locally produced cement bricks are used throughout as opposed to clay bricks, resulting in no emissions from baking the bricks in a clay oven. StayEasy has also chosen to use the Geberit WC cisterns with two flush settings to conserve water. These principles will continue to be implemented in all the new StayEasy hotels planned and sites in the major centers throughout the country have already been identified for the new hotels.

StayEasy offers a practical solution to the accommodation requirements of the price sensitive traveller. The all-inclusive rate includes a free breakfast consisting of the freshest ingredients to all guests and comfortable rooms that accommodate up to three people per room. The rooms all have en suite bathrooms featuring showers and every room has coffee and tea making facilities.

StayEasy is the perfect place to stay for the business traveller, offering competitive rates, great locations and wireless Internet access in the public areas. Visit southernsun.com to find out more about a particular StayEasy property.
