Hospitality Company news South Africa

All CLHG hotels are now open!

Nearly two years after the start of the pandemic, when all 63 City Lodge Hotel Group properties were forced to temporarily suspend their services, the group is delighted to announce that from 7 February 2022, all South African-based hotels will be open and most others elsewhere in Africa.

Hotels have gradually been reopening in a phased manner, based on Covid-19 lockdown travel regulations, international borders being opened or closed, and customer demand. The last three hotels to open their doors, in South Africa, after this prolonged period are Road Lodge Isando on 30 January 2022 and City Lodge Hotel Sandton, Morningside and Road Lodge Sandton on 7 February 2022.

Andrew Widegger, CEO of City Lodge Hotel Group, says, “While the pandemic is not over, business has returned in sufficient numbers to allow us to trade with all of our hotels open once again. We could never have imagined a situation in which we would have to temporarily close all of our properties at once, but thanks to the dedication, agility and hard work of our wonderful staff and support from our shareholders, bankers and suppliers, we have prevailed. Our valued guests once again have a choice of hotels spread across the Fairview, Courtyard Hotel, City Lodge Hotel, Town Lodge and Road Lodge brands in cities and towns across South Africa as well as in Windhoek, Namibia; Gaborone, Botswana; Maputo, Mozambique; Nairobi, Kenya; and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania to choose from.”

In addition, lunch and dinner are now being served from the new Eat-in restaurants currently being rolled out at all Town Lodges and Road Lodges, giving guests more reason to sit back and relax in their hotel.
