City Lodge announces second Bloem hotel
City Lodge Hotel group has started development on its new 66-room Road Lodge Bloemfontein Airport. It will be the group’s second hotel in the Free State.
Construction started in October and the hotel is likely to be completed in May/June this year and will be fully operational for the Soccer World Cup.
The hotel will enable one, two or three people to share a room for the single room rate. Road Lodge has one-star grading and offers excellent value for money to budget-conscious travellers.
The decision to build a hotel at Bloemfontein airport is line with the group’s belief that there is strong demand for airport accommodation – providing passengers with the convenience of accommodation when they land late, are in transit or have an early-morning flight. It is envisaged that Road Lodge Bloemfontein Airport will attract a broad cross-section of guests – both business and leisure travellers.
Highland Mountain Retreat to receive a face-lift
The four-star Highland Mountain Retreat, adjacent to the Golden Gate Highlands National Park in the northern Free State, is to undergo a face-lift.
The retreat, the highest located accommodation in South Africa, will undergo some soft refurbishment including new carpets, replacement of front doors and repainting of the wooden furnishings.
