South Africa Accommodation

1993 was an eventful year in the development of The Don chain of hotels. The Don Hotel  group in South Africa was given the resources to expand, when a Johannesburg financial and property organisation acquired the controlling equity. This meant that the Don suites could be upgraded to meet the highest international standards in comfort, convenience and security. From these developments sprung the 59 unit suite hotel on the shores of the cosmopolitan and ever popular Bruma Lake, followed by the first Don in the mushrooming Rosebank CBD; Don Pasquale was renovated to offer high quality Platinum Suite accommodation, and 41 luxury units were added to upgrade another of the original Dons – Pepe.

1995 – 1998 was a time of profile growth for Don Suite Hotels. Land was purchased in Isando near Johannesburg International Airport and so commenced the building of the profitable Airport Don, opened by the Premier of Gauteng Tokyo Sexwale.

Expansion into Pretoria and refurbishment and enlargements of an acquisition saw the opening of Don Arcadia I with 46 suites in April 1995. At the same time, a development on a second site in the same area began R3,5 million was spent on the reconstruction of Don Rosebank II which consisted for 29 suites and in 1998, the re-development and integration of an adjoining building, increased its number of suites to 46. Further developments occurred in Sandton and Pretoria.

The next move gave Don Suite Hotels a prized foothold in the Western Cape. This came through the acquisition country wide, of seven hotels owned by the Trafalgar group in March 1996. Beautiful old buildings renovated to the style and standards of Don Suite Hotels saw the opening of properties in Seapoint with 27 suites, and Gardens with 31 suites.
