Leisure and travel magazine, Conde Nast has published its list of the 25 best hotels in Africa<\/a> – 16 of which are found within the borders of South Africa.<\/p>\n

Of the 16 South African hotels, three are found in Joburg, two in Franschoek and one in Umhlanga, Stellenbosch and Hermanus – with Cape Town scooping eight positions, “proving that the Mother City is a world-class travel destination,” according to\u00a0Cape Town Tourism CEO,\u00a0Enver Duminy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Four South African\u00a0hotels made it into the top 5 – with the Belond Mount Nelson Hotel taking the top position on the continent.<\/p>\n

The South African tourism industry has had a tough year, with no thanks to government for pushing onerous visa laws through which made it more difficult for foreigners to enter the country.<\/p>\n

“After a year of challenges, accolades such as these – in addition to the announcement that visa and birth certificate regulations are to be relaxed – are encouraging for all our partners in the tourism industry, Duminy said. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We are well-placed to highlight Cape Town as a top travel destination as we head into the high season.”<\/span><\/p>\n
