THE TWELVE Apostles & Spa will be at ILTM sharing with the Africa stand I141, which offers a selection of luxury products, market leading DMC’s, incentive and VIP inbound operators all showcasing the best of Southern Africa, Eastern Africa, and North Africa ( Egypt and Morocco). The luxury resort overlooking the sea in Cape Town has been named the Number Two Hotel in Africa by readers of the magazine Condé Nast Traveler in its 21st Annual Readers’ Choice Awards. The awards are derived from the magazine’s survey, the largest independent poll of consumers’ preferences. Over 32,000 readers voted this year.
Situated where the mountains meet the ocean, this five star luxury boutique hotel offers 55 deluxe rooms and 15 suites as well as the Sanctuary Spa, which, along with other accolades, was recently named Leading Spa resort in Africa at the World Travel Awards Middle East and 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 travellers for whom no island is too remote, no city too challenging, and no hotel too untested.”
The twelve Apostles & Spa is offering a four night stay for the price of three until January 31, 2009. Included in the package is accommodation and the use of its modern spa facilities (includes the hydrotherapy pools, aroma sauna and flotation tank at the Sanctuary Spa), a welcome arrival drink, full South African breakfast daily, complimentary daily newspaper and transfers and access to the nearby Virgin Active health club, with fitness classes, squash and tennis courts and a 25 metre indoor heated pool.
