The Portfolio Collection

Benchmark of the Best & our partners in South Africa

The Portfolio Collection represents a benchmark of the best quality accommodation in South & Southern Africa, ranging from private game reserves, fine country houses, boutique city hotels and charming guesthouses, to select bed and breakfasts in private homes. Established in South Africa in 1982, the Portfolio Collection today represents over 750 establishments chosen for their ambience, atmosphere and warm hospitality. Each is personally visited and assessed regularly by a team of travelling consultants to ensure that standards are maintained, and are an assurance that these establishments are the benchmark of the best.

The Portfolio Collection

Portfolio has three guides in the Collection to suit every traveller, and the Portfolio rating system will assist you in your selection, from Comfortable, Great Comfort, Luxury to Prestige. Portfolio's philosophy of "Pride in Personal Service" is the spirit of the Collection, reflecting a friendly attitude, warm ambience and unique atmosphere, which are the hallmarks of Portfolio. And if you really must stay in an establishment not featured in The Portfolio Collection, we have negotiated excellent rates with the most popular ‘other’ establishments in South Africa. If you do not yet have copies of the invaluable Portfolio Collection guides please don’t hesitate to contact us and we would be delighted to send you a set.
