16/10/2008

The readers of Condé Nast Traveler have named The Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa Number Two Hotel in Africa  in the magazine‘s 21st Annual Readers‘ Choice Awards. The awards are derived from the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Survey, the largest independent poll of consumers’ preferences.  Over 32,000 readers voted this year.  

Situated minutes from Cape Town, where the mountains meet the ocean, this five-star, luxury boutique hotel offers 55 deluxe rooms and 15 sumptuous suites as well as the Sanctuary Spa, which, along with a clutch of other prestigious accolades, was recently named Leading Spa resort in Africa at the World Travel Awards Middle East/Africa Awards

The Twelve Apostles is Part of the Red Carnation Hotels collection, which includes properties in London, Dorset, Guernsey, Geneva and Palm Beach. Its sister property, Bushman’s Kloof, a wilderness retreat in the Western Cape, was ranked in the Top 20 Resorts in Africa in the same poll, while The Milestone Hotel, a five-star luxury boutique hotel in London, also in the RCH collection, was voted Best Hotel In The British Isles.

“These awards celebrate the destinations, lodgings, and modes of transportation that manage to exceed our expectations,” said Condé Nast Traveler Editor in Chief Klara Glowczewska. “The Readers’ Choice Awards, with over 32,000 readers voting, are a credit to the worldly expertise of our readers—passionate travelers for whom no island is too remote, no city too challenging, and no hotel too untested.”  

The complete results of the awards can be found in the November issue of Condé Nast Traveler, on newsstands October 21st or on the magazine’s website at cntraveler.com. The Readers Choice Awards gala took place on Wednesday, October 15th in New York City at the New York Public Library. Photos and video from the event are available upon request.
