The Liz McGrath Collection’s Plettenberg Bay Hotel, The Plettenberg, was voted runner-up in the category of Best Hotels in Eastern and Southern Africa for Condé Nast Traveler’s prestigious 2023 Readers’ Choice Awards.
The Plettenberg scored 98.54, following hot on the heels of Babylonstoren, which placed first with 98.55.
Sister hotel to The Plettenberg, The Cellars-Hohenort Hotel & Spa retained its longstanding spot on the list of best hotels by scoring 96.50 points, earning it 12th place in the 2023 rankings.
As one of the global travel industry’s longest-running accolades, the Readers’ Choice Awards remain the ultimate symbol and acknowledgment of excellence within the travel sector. This year, more than 520,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers submitted responses rating their travel experiences across the globe to offer a comprehensive look at the places they eagerly anticipate revisiting.
Jacqui Elliot, CEO of The Liz McGrath Collection, says they are thrilled with The Plettenberg’s performance over the last year. Under the leadership of general manager Melissa Theron, it moved up in the rankings from 11th place in 2022, beating stiff competition from other prominent hotels in the region to take second place in 2023, in what is known as one of the world’s most prestigious awards programmes.
The Plettenberg has direct beach access and showcases the most breathtaking vistas on the Garden Route, with views of the ocean, mountains, and endless stretches of golden sand. A proud member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, it features 35 beautifully appointed guest rooms, including 12 Suites and two spectacular Villas.
