Triple Treat

Exceptional luxury, plush comfort, and gracious service are not the words one usually hears when the notion of travelling to South Africa comes up. Despite living in more enlightened times, many still think that a trek to this country involves roughing it out either in the humid jungle or on the arid veldt. Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth, as The Royal Portfolio proudly boasts of some of the country’s most luxurious hotel and resort stays.

Established by husband and wife team Phil and Liz Biden in 1999 when they converted their summer home in north-eastern South Africa into what is now the Royal Malewane, The Royal Portfolio currently boasts of four hotels and one serviced residence facility, all located in some of the most scenic and historically relevant areas of the country.

Philippine Tatler recently had the privilege of experiencing the finest in South African hospitality by way of three Royal Portfolio hotels that offer the best city, countryside, and safari experiences. From luxurious amenities to world-class cuisine, it has put South Africa on the map for truly luxe getaways.

Each of The Royal Portfolio’s properties captures the essence of its location: a distinctive and dynamic urban vibe at The Silo in Cape Town; a more laid-back feel tinged with the rustic elegance of rural France at La Residence in Franschhoek; and a sense of lively adventure at the Royal Malewane as one roams through the expanse of the Greater Kruger National Park.

The Silo

It’s a hotel that has the additional cachet of being located inside one of Cape Town’s most iconic structures—one it shares with the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary African Art (Zeitz MOCAA), which is rapidly gaining attention as a regional hub for arts and culture.
