BON Hotels has taken over the management of the Queen’s Hotel in Oudtshoorn from June 1.

CEO and founder of BON Hotels, Guy Stehlik, says it’s a new and exciting chapter for the hotel group.

“Established in 1880, and recently restored to her original beauty, the Queen’s Hotel is a grande dame of South African hoteliery. What’s exciting for BON is that she is a much-loved landmark in Oudtshoorn, itself an incredibly special town – the heart of the Klein Karoo and jewel of the Garden Route.”

The 42-room hotel has two eateries, the Colony Restaurant and Café Brûlé.

“The Queen’s Hotel combines old-world charm with warm, Karoo hospitality, and it already has an enviable, loyal customer base of international and domestic visitors. Of course, its rich history and position also make it a very exciting addition for BON,” says Stehlik. 

“There is much to do and explore for young and old alike in Oudtshoorn, and a stay at the Queen’s Hotel will offer even more for visitors to the region. We look forward to a really successful partnership with the owners and Queen’s Hotel team.”
