The Palace of the Lost City Unveils Plume Jazz Lounge

The Palace of the Lost City, Sun City’s flagship five‑star hotel and one of Africa’s most iconic luxury destinations, elevates its hospitality offering with the launch of The Plume Jazz Lounge. Opening on 29 August 2026, this elegant new venue is dedicated to live jazz, exceptional dining, and curated evening experiences — a natural extension of The Palace’s legacy of royal hospitality and immersive guest journeys since 1992.

A Strategic Evolution

“Luxury travellers today are seeking more than exceptional accommodation. They are looking for immersive experiences that create lasting memories and meaningful connections,” says Brett Hoppe, Sun City Resort General Manager. “Plume Jazz Lounge enables us to expand our premium food, beverage and entertainment portfolio while strengthening The Palace’s position as a leading luxury destination in Africa.”

Inspired by Jazz Heritage

Designed as an intimate sanctuary, Plume Jazz Lounge draws inspiration from the timeless elegance of the world’s great jazz houses. Rich emerald and gold tones, warm ambient lighting, and sophisticated interiors create an atmosphere both contemporary and inviting. Nightly performances by resident musicians transform each evening into a unique experience — whether guests gather for pre‑dinner cocktails, celebratory evenings, or leisurely nights immersed in music.

The interiors were envisioned by David Muirhead and Associates, reinterpreting The Palace’s grandeur with luxurious finishes and elegant detailing. Complementing the design is a bespoke handcrafted ceramic collection by Claylat, inspired by African landscapes and textures, reinforcing the venue’s uniquely African luxury identity.

The Culinary Journey

Plume Jazz Lounge offers a fine‑dining tapestry menu crafted for sharing and discovery. Premium local and international ingredients are presented with bold flavours and contemporary finesse. Guests can elevate their experience with curated caviar, an extensive champagne collection, premium South African and international wines, rare spirits, and signature cocktails — each pairing designed to harmonize with the evening’s soundtrack.

A New Chapter for The Palace

As the newest addition to The Palace’s acclaimed dining portfolio — including Crystal Court, Tusk Bar, Pool Deck, Grill Room, and Lost City Croc Lounge — Plume Jazz Lounge strengthens Sun City’s reputation for world‑class hospitality. Developed over six months, it marks the beginning of a new chapter: a destination where music, cuisine, design, and service converge in perfect harmony.
