Cape Town, 25 October 2010 : African Pride 15 on Orange Hotel has won the best hotel of SA category
in the “best of SA” award in House and Leisure magazine. The awards celebrate the best hotel, spa, lodge and restaurant in the country as voted for by House and
Leisure readers.

House and Leisure is the authority on “Stylish SA at home and play”. It is South Africa’s premium showcase for inspiring travel and leisure as well as stylish homes,
people, decor and innovative food.

Protea Hospitality Group CEO Arthur Gillis says: “African Pride 15 on Orange Hotel represents the world leading standards the Protea Hospitality Group benchmarks itself against and we are delighted and honoured that the readers of House and Leisure have recognised our efforts with this award.”

African Pride 15 on Orange Hotel was hailed by many as a design tour de force when it opened in December 2009. Gillis is emphatic though that the mastery contained in the hotel’s decor does not lie at the heart of the award. “The hotel is exquisite on the eye of that there is no question, however, I believe  it is the unique service culture embodied by our General Manager Douglas Allen and all of the staff at African Pride 15 on Orange Hotel that is being recognised with this award, given their tireless devotion to exceeding guest expectations at every level.”
