Valor Hospitality & sister company in Africa – PMR Hospitality Partners are proud recipient of a recent compliments and recommendations from The Inside Guide’s “ Best Little Towns Around Cape Town feature who told readers that it was time to “Rediscover The Cape’s Less Well-Known Towns.”

Headlining the regional suggestions was “Why follow the hordes to Hermanus? The Cape has some less famous historic towns brimming with character, quaint guesthouses, and interesting places to eat. You might want to start planning your spring holiday now…”

And if you are visiting Matjiesfontein, The Insider Guide has a number of suggestions and “Why We Love It” among them “Where to Stay.” They follow with:

The inimitably charming Lord Milner Hotel. Time has stood still at this bastion of Victoriana that opened in 1899. And despite a caring refurbishment by the McGrath group in 2011, her (faded) colonial grandeur remains in tact – which might have something to do with staff’s fantastically eccentric Victorian-era kit (think bonnets and bellhop hats). The pool feels like a scene straight out of The Grand Budapest Hotel meets Bagdad Café, with its vintage wrought-iron furniture, a lone windmill and overgrown (Karoo) garden in the background.

The Lord Milner is managed by PMR Hospitality, a sister company of Atlanta-based Valor Hospitality.

Valor & PMR Co-owner and Managing Partner, Euan McGlashan commented, “This is a superb and well deserved accolade for The Lord Milner and the town of Matjiesfontein. We have only been operating the hotel and all the town’s numerous facilities and activities for 6 months now but in that time, have focused heavily on the overall guest experience through highlighting the historical significance of this incredibly special Karoo gem & offering genuine, warm and caring Southern African hospitality”.

Valor Hospitality Partners, based in Atlanta operate 36 hotels between the USA, UK and Southern Africa though sister company, PMR Hospitality Partners, http://pmrhospitality.com.
