Leisure Hotels Goes Green
Youve probably noticed that green is everywhere these days - in the news, in fashion, in small businesses and larger organisations. A few years ago, when environmental issues and climate change became a concern, people began to think about ways in which to protect Mother Earth. People and businesses (especially the hospitality industry) all over South Africa realised that investing in eco-friendly products as well as go green campaigns would help preserve and protect the health of our environment.

Today its easier than ever to find green hotels. There are many establishments who practice green policies and booking eco-friendly accommodation does not mean you have to sacrifice style and comfort. So where would you find the best eco-friendly accommodation?
Introducing the Leisure Hotels Group - Leisure Hotels is a privately owned hotel group that consists of four beautiful hotels located in Cape Town. This group provides accommodation for all types of travellers, including tourists, tour groups, corporate guests and even locals looking for a getaway in the city.
