The 25-80 key hotels, targeted at discerning business travellers and well-travelled tourists, are located in key, trendy urban and commercial nodes across South Africa.
The first hotel is located on the corner of Oxford and Bristol Roads in Rosebank, Johannesburg. A second Rosebank hotel is being developed and another in Sandton.
Three hotels are planned for Cape Town in Sea Point, Gardens and De Waterkant.
According to Novick, travellers are looking for the facilities of a large international hotel brand and the intimacy of smaller boutique hotel, while location and design are important, service is the magical ingredient.
