The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa Officially the No. 1

11/07/2009

The 5-star Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa, Cape Town, South Africa, renowned for its superb accommodation, signature menus, stand alone location and award winning spa has been voted the No. 1 City Hotel in Africa and the Middle East and the No. 1 Hotel Spa in Africa and the Middle East in Travel + Leisure’s 2009 World’s Best Awards readers' survey.

Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve & Wellness Retreat, a sister property, has been named the Best Hotel in the World and No. 1 Lodge/Resort in Africa and the Middle East.

Travel + Leisure's 14th Annual World's Best Awards poll asked readers to rate the best hotels, spas, cruises, airlines, outfitters, cities and islands and the Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa, part of The Red Carnation Collection, came out in the first position in two categories.

Comments Clive Bennett, Managing Director of The Red Carnation Collection in South Africa; “This is an enormous accolade and public recognition for the owners and personnel. We continually strive to offer the finest service excellence on a consistent, sustainable basis while creating memorable experiences for guests.”

This 70-room, stylish and distinctive luxury hotel combines African chic with continental sophistication and service and is ideally located between the Twelve Apostles Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean - yet within minutes of world class beaches, tourist attractions and just 15 minutes from the famous V&A Waterfront.

The 2009 World's Best Awards survey results will be featured in the August 2009 issue of Travel + Leisure and at www.travelandleisure.com/worldsbest. The winners will be honoured at a ceremony on July 21 at the Cooper Square Hotel in New York City.
