Through the vision of founder, Swiss-born Hans Enderle, and the financial backing of the Mine Pension Funds, the opening of City Lodge Randburg (now called City Lodge Hotel Bryanston) on 1 August 1985, became the catalyst for what today is South Africa’s leading selected services hotel chain.
From the start, emphasis was placed on quality accommodation, homely ambience, and friendly service – and these are still hallmarks of the group today. After pioneering the quality, selected services hotel concept in South Africa, the group was incorporated in July 1986 and has since substantially grown and diversified its product offering to meet different travelers’ needs.
