BON takes over iconic Oudtshoorn hotel

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.”
