South Africa Accommodation

No matter which hotel group is chosen by travellers for their stay in cities throughout South Africa, the City Lodge Family of Hotels provide great value for money while enjoying central locations in South Africa's major cities. The individual hotels provide leisure, family and business travellers with comfortable accommodation and hotel services such as transfers, concierge, room service, housekeeping and others.

Through the vision of the City Lodge Hotel Group founder, Swiss-born Mr Hans Enderle, and the financial backing of the Mine Pension Funds, City Lodge Randburg became the catalyst for what today is one of South Africa's large hotel chains.

From the beginning, emphasis was placed on quality accommodation, homely ambience and friendly service. The City Lodge Hotel group was incorporated in July 1986 and has since substantially grown and diversified its product offering to meet different travellers' needs.

In 1990, the second-tier Town Lodge concept was started and has proved highly popular. On 18 November 1992, the group successfully listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.

In 1995, the City Lodge hotel group in South Africa acquired a 50% interest in the companies associated with the upmarket Courtyard Suite Hotel chain and also opened its first Road Lodge, which is a concept targeted mainly at budget conscious travellers.

With 6 Courtyard Hotels (451 suites), 11 City Lodge Hotels (1 797 rooms), 9 Town Lodge Hotels (1041 rooms) and 17 Road Lodges (1570 rooms), the City Lodge group has a total of 4 859 rooms and suites and ranks amongst the 250 largest hotel chains in the world.
