Johannesburg - Red Carnation Hotel Collection South Africa (RCH SA) swept the board in a New World Wealth independent survey of 25 global multimillionaires who rated The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa as their top hotel in the country for last year, followed by The Oyster Box.

Despite strong competition from the safari industry, sister-property Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve & Wellness Retreat was ranked fourth in the safari lodge category.

According to Gauteng-based NW-Wealth.com, South Africa received just over 12 000 multimillionaire visitors between June last year and June this year. The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa was visited by 300 multimillionaires, followed by The Oyster Box with 200 and Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve & Wellness Retreat who hosted more than 100 wealthy foreign visitors from around the world.

Jill Wagner, the RCH SA marketing manager says: ‘We are delighted that our hotels are so highly rated by this exclusive group of international multimillionaires, but are equally proud of our loyal, local support where South Africans on average, make up more than 50 percent of our business every year.’

The three five-star, family-owned Red Carnation boutique hotels in South Africa are distinguished by their own style, personality and character, reflecting the environment, culture and cuisine, and offering an authentic South African experience. Signature qualities include luxury, hospitality, inventive and traditional cuisine, a private art collection, passionate service and loyal staff.
