“A sophisticated new luxury destination where music, fine dining and world-class hospitality come together”

The Palace of the Lost City in Suncity has entered an exciting new chapter in luxury hospitality with the unveiling of the Plume Jazz Lounge, an elegant new destination where live music, exceptional cuisine and sophisticated nightlife come together.

Officially opened on 29 August 2026, the Plume Jazz Lounge adds a new dimension to the experience at Sun City’s iconic five-star Palace, offering guests an intimate setting inspired by the timeless glamour and elegance of the world’s most celebrated jazz houses.

For more than three decades, The Palace of the Lost City has been synonymous with grandeur, world-class hospitality and unforgettable guest experiences. Since opening its doors in 1992, the iconic hotel has established itself as one of Africa’s most recognisable luxury destinations.

The introduction of Plume Jazz Lounge represents a natural evolution of that legacy.

WHERE JAZZ MEETS LUXURY

Designed as an intimate sanctuary for lovers of music, culture and refined hospitality, Plume Jazz Lounge offers guests an immersive evening experience unlike any other at Sun City.

The venue combines the soulful sounds of live jazz with elegant interiors, premium beverages and a carefully curated dining experience.

Inspired by the golden era of jazz, the lounge creates an atmosphere where guests can relax, celebrate and enjoy an evening designed around exceptional entertainment and hospitality.

Nightly performances by talented resident musicians provide the soundtrack, ensuring that every visit offers a unique experience.

Whether guests are enjoying pre-dinner cocktails, celebrating a special occasion or simply unwinding with friends, Plume Jazz Lounge promises an evening where music and luxury move in perfect harmony.

A NEW DESTINATION FOR DISCERNING DINERS

The culinary experience at Plume Jazz Lounge has been carefully developed to complement the sophistication of the venue’s entertainment programme.

Guests can expect a refined fine-dining experience featuring premium local and international ingredients, bold flavours and contemporary presentation.

The menu is designed to encourage sharing, discovery and conversation, creating a dining experience that unfolds throughout the evening.

For those seeking an even more indulgent experience, Plume Jazz Lounge also offers a curated selection of premium beverages, including champagne, exceptional South African and international wines, rare spirits and signature cocktails.

A carefully selected caviar offering further adds to the sense of occasion, allowing guests to elevate their evening in true Palace style.

Every element has been designed to complement the rhythm of the music and the sophistication of the setting.

A STRATEGIC EVOLUTION OF THE PALACE EXPERIENCE

Speaking about the launch, Brett Hoppe, Sun City Resort General Manager, said the new venue represents an important investment in the continued evolution of The Palace experience.speaking with S.A Buzz

“Luxury travellers today are seeking more than exceptional accommodation. They are looking for immersive experiences that create lasting memories and meaningful connections,” Hoppe said.

“The launch of Plume Jazz Lounge allows us to expand our premium food, beverage and entertainment offering while further strengthening The Palace’s position as one of Africa’s leading luxury destinations.”

He added that the new lounge creates another reason for guests and visitors to experience The Palace.

“It is an exciting addition that enhances guest choice, creates new reasons to visit The Palace and reinforces our commitment to delivering world-class hospitality experiences.”

DESIGNED FOR ELEGANCE

The Plume Jazz Lounge has been thoughtfully designed to reflect both the grandeur of The Palace and the intimate atmosphere associated with the world’s legendary jazz venues.

The interior design was guided by leading South African design specialists David Muirhead and Associates, who reimagined the space through luxurious finishes, elegant detailing and a contemporary interpretation of The Palace’s renowned style.

Rich textures, sophisticated furnishings and warm ambient lighting combine to create an environment that feels both timeless and contemporary.

Adding to the venue’s distinctive African luxury identity is a bespoke handcrafted ceramic collection by Claylat, inspired by the landscapes and textures of Africa.

The result is a space where international sophistication meets local creativity and craftsmanship.

A NEW SOUNDTRACK FOR THE PALACE

Plume Jazz Lounge joins The Palace’s established collection of acclaimed dining and lifestyle destinations, including Crystal Court, The Grill Room, Tusk Bar & Lounge and the Palace Pool Deck.

However, the arrival of Plume brings something distinctly different to the Palace experience.

It is more than a restaurant.

It is more than a bar.

It is a destination designed around the complete evening experience – where music, cuisine, design and hospitality come together.

Developed over approximately six months from concept to opening, Plume Jazz Lounge reflects the changing expectations of modern luxury travellers, who increasingly seek memorable and immersive experiences alongside exceptional accommodation.

DRESSING UP FOR THE OCCASION

The sophistication of Plume Jazz Lounge extends to its dress code, with guests encouraged to embrace the glamour of the experience.

Gentlemen are expected to wear collared shirts accompanied by a jacket or blazer, while ladies are invited to dress elegantly and embrace the occasion.

The dress code forms part of the venue’s commitment to preserving the refined and exclusive atmosphere that defines the Plume experience.

THE NIGHT HAS A NEW HOME AT SUN CITY

With its combination of live jazz, fine dining, premium beverages and elegant design, Plume Jazz Lounge is set to become one of Sun City’s most exciting new lifestyle and entertainment destinations.

The venue offers a new way for guests to experience The Palace of the Lost City – after dark.
