The Exceptional Collection, an independent and exclusive brand of the Three Cities Group, has announced the acquisition of three new properties to its exceptional group of luxury lodges, hotels and golfing estates in Southern Africa.
The properties include Thaba Ya Batswana set in a nature reserve south of Johannesburg, legendary Bumi Hills Lodge on Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe and The Bay, a boutique hotel in Mauritius.
“The growth, of Exceptional Collection emphasises the strength of the sales & marketing platform provided by the Three Cities group and an ability to extend services throughout Southern Africa,” says Exceptional Collection manager, Shadleigh Roscoe.
The Exceptional Collection was launched into the Southern African hospitality market earlier this year with a selection of some of the region’s most compelling properties from Victoria Falls to Mpumalanga, the Cape winelands and Garden Route with the new properties providing added presence across the sub-continent.
Set in the beautiful Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve south of Johannesburg, Thaba Ya Batswana, is close to the metropolis yet seemingly worlds away. Capturing the spirit of the African renaissance, the lodge has been built to impeccable eco-friendly standards from the materials used in construction to its impact on the environment.
With 52 rooms, an a la carte restaurant and conference facilities able to host up to 500 delegates along with board-rooms and smaller venues for more intimate meetings, Thaba Ya Batswana is also a significant addition to the Gauteng Conference world while the area’s stunning natural beauty makes it a premier wedding destination.
Set on the banks of Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe, Bumi Hills is a legendary lodge for both fishing and game-viewing and presents a true into-Africa experience while, with its feet in the Indian Ocean, The Bay Hotel is an intimate boutique island experience located in the Black River area of Mauritius, far from the madding crowds.
With a focus on Sales, Marketing and Reservations Channelling support (including access to the powerful Three Cities Group’s central reservations system), the Exceptional Collection embraces each property’s distinctive identity and operational characteristics, while providing services for which small boutique hotels and safari lodges often lack the financial capacity or professional expertise.
