Would you believe that Wikipedia lists 28 different types of hotels? Listed under the heading Hotels there are sub-listings, in alphabetical order, from Boutique Hotels to Capsule Hotels, from Garden Hotels to Ice and Snow Hotels, and a whole lot of other varieties too. There are non-descript unrated hotels to record breaking (tallest, largest, oldest) to internationally renowned hotels.
There is no set definition for what a hotel is, but it is generally accepted that a hotel room will provide you, at a set rate, with lodging on a short term basis. This might include meals, dependent upon what the individual hotel offers.
Hotels vary in style and level of comfort from a basic room with a bed and a side-table to an entire suite that has its own lounge, dressing room and even a kitchen.

South Africa's Top 5 Star Hotels
The cost and quality of hotels usually give a good indication of the range and sorts of services one can expect to be supplied with in each. There has been a marked improvement in the standards of all hotels , especially in the smaller-establishment category, thanks largely to a huge increase in worldwide tourism. Travel is so much more accessible to a much larger portion of most countries’ population than at any other time in the past 30 years. This has had a positive impact on standards right across the spectrum of accommodation .
Choosing where to stay when you travel can be a challenging, and very often complicated, task. A word of advise it to do a little research before you go ahead and commit yourself to a reservation. There is an awful lot of marketing ‘spin’ that goes into the advertising of a hotel, and to believe everything you hear or read about a particular establishment might leave you feeling a bit more than short-changed when you get to your hotel ‘with a sea view’ which in fact has a picture of the sea in the lobby and is actually a very long way from the sea. You might want a family orientated hotel, but find when you check-in that your choice of hotel is far more utilitarian than homely.
South Africa’s hotel industry is very lively, competitive, and offers an enormous variety that caters for a very wide spectrum of travelers, from single travelers such as businessmen to families and large tour groups. The top hotels in South Africa compare very favourably with the best in the world, with a very fine selection from 6 star super-luxurious to smaller, less expensive hotels to suit the more budget conscious traveler.



From internationally recognised skyscraping hotels to small boutique hotels, your every need will be met in the South African hotel of your choice. Whether you are a business person traveling alone or you are bringing your whole family on holiday, there are hotels for the price-conscious to 5-star luxury.
