The Cellars Hohenort Hotel, Constantia, Cape Town ( South Africa )

The Marine Hotel, Hermanus (South Africa)

As with the sister properties of The Collection, namely The Cellars-Hohenort and The Plettenberg, the world class quality that has become the hallmark of Liz McGrath was injected into The Marine Hotel in Hermanus, which is also a Relais & Chateaux Hotel.

Perched on top of the cliffs at Hermanus, The Marine Hotel has one of the southern hemisphere's most spectacular seascapes. The Marine Hotel, Hermanus, has 43 individually decorated bedrooms and suites, each with its private facilities. Commanding views extend across Walker Bay or over the beautiful internal courtyard, finely manicured gardens and the Overberg Mountains.

Guests are invited to stroll along the cliff-hugging path which starts at the Marine Hotel and takes in the hotel's breathtaking views of the Hermanus Bay. The sparkling, heated courtyard pool might beckon, perfect for catching some African sun or sip a glass of local wine in The Sun Lounge with nothing between you and the South Pole, other than 3,000 miles of ocean. Hermanus offers some of the best land-based whale watching in the world and at The Marine Hotel guests don't even have to get out of bed to experience these amazing creatures.
