The Royal Portfolio, comprising The Silo Hotel, Royal Malewane, La Residence, and
Birkenhead House, has officially joined The Leading Hotels of the World (LHW), one of the
world’s most prestigious collections of independent luxury hotels.
This significant milestone further elevates South Africa’s standing on the global luxury travel stage. For Koncept Africa and our global partners, it strengthens our ability to introduce discerning travellers to some of the country’s most exceptional destinations across safari, winelands, coastline, and city experiences.

With over 400 independent luxury hotels across more than 80 countries, LHW is synonymous with exceptional quality, individuality, and a deep commitment to hospitality. The Royal Portfolio’s inclusion reinforces its alignment with these values while amplifying its global reach through LHW’s extensive international sales and marketing network.
For trade partners and travellers alike, this affiliation brings added confidence and visibility, particularly for first-time visitors to South Africa seeking trusted, world-class luxury experiences. Importantly, this partnership does not change what The Royal Portfolio represents; rather, it amplifies the standards of excellence, authenticity, and thoughtful service for which it is already known.
Koncept Africa looks forward to leveraging this partnership to unlock new opportunities, inspiring travellers to discover the very best of South Africa’s safari lodges, wine estates, coastal retreats, and urban icons.
