The Steenberg Hotel in Cape Town’s Constantia Valley was named the Best Luxury Hotel in Africa by www.TripAdvisor.com, the world’s largest travel site in its 2011 Travelers’ Choice awards.

Lauded for its ‘excellent service and perfect mixture of old world charm and modern amenities’, Steenberg topped the list as voted by real travellers from across the globe, many of whom have frequented the hotel, and experienced its service and accommodation offering.

This follows hot on the heels of another major international accolade, where Steenberg Vineyards was voted one of nine global winners in the Great Wine Capitals Best of Wine Tourism awards, also taking top honours in South Africa in the categories of architecture, parks and gardens, as well as wine tourism services.
