These are the most game-changing hotels to have opened in the last year in Africa and the Middle East – bookmark for your future travels.
We shine the spotlight on a homegrown creative hideaway in Cape Town and a whirl of decadent South African wilderness lodges; forward-thinking camps in the dramatic Namibian desert and a scene-stealing new arrival in Marrakech from the group behind a clutch of the world’s most refined hotels. Two new openings in Rwanda prove this once-troubled country is still riding a wave, while the reimaging of Jao – Africa’s original, pioneering safari lodge – is a game-changer all over again.
This selection of hotels is part of the annual Condé Nast Traveller Hot List 2020. See the other lists below:
