For the 12th consecutive year, The Saxon Boutique Hotel, Villas & Spa has been voted the World's Leading Boutique Hotel by the 2012 World Travel Awards (WTA).

The decision is made on an annual basis by travel and tourism professionals worldwide and, according to Graham E Cooke, president of WTA, the awards "recognise the commitment to excellence which the organisation has demonstrated in the last 12 months. The World Travel Awards' winners gold shield will assure guests of The Saxon's continuing endeavours to improve products and services".

Ongoing dynamism and innovation is the key to longevity

Earlier this year, the Saxon was also the recipient of the WTA award for best boutique hotel in Africa 2012. Managing director George Cohen accepted the award on behalf of his team: "Every member of The Saxon team plays an integral part in our continued success. Winning this award confirms that we're doing something right and it is an accolade that we're proud to accept. Ongoing dynamism and innovation is the key to longevity in the tourism industry; we are constantly striving to offer our guests the best in service and hospitality."

The Saxon prides itself on offering an unparalleled experience of discreet and luxurious South African hospitality. Having recently revamped its food and beverage offerings, the hotel now boasts a fine-dining establishment - Five Hundred, alongside the Saxon Restaurant, which is an upmarket grillhouse-style restaurant, both venues being the brainchild of executive chef David Higgs.
