East London ICC awarded five-star grading

"We are delighted at the grading, not only because of the commitment to service excellence but which underpins our commitment as an independent hotel group to the sustainability of the Tourism Industry in South Africa," says Premier Hotel Group MD Samuel Nassimov. Premier Hotels, which has 10 hotels throughout South Africa, manages the ELICC.

Positioned on East London's Esplanade the ELICC is only a 15 minute drive from the East London Airport, the Industrial Development Zone and all major industries, and offers a fresh Eastern Cape alternative to the Business Tourism sector, both locally and internationally.
