The Charm Inherent in 'Freedom To Stay Your Way'.

The Don Group is the only Black wholly owned and managed hotel group listed on the JSE Securities Exchange South Africa.

The controlling shareholder is Thabiso Tlelai, chief executive officer, an experienced hotelier who holds a B.Com degree from the Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada. He assumed control in late 1999.

Don is also South Africa's largest suite hotel group. It pioneered the concept of all suite hotels from the early 1980s and has attained standards of accommodation, comfort and service equal to the best international suite hotels.

Its hotels are well located in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Sandton and Pretoria. There are a total of 410 suites spread through nine hotels, each with well maintained garden, swimming pool, ample parking and high security.

Depending on the hotel, there is a choice of studio (sleeping two), one - two and three-bedroomed suites (main with TV), each with ample lounge (also with TV), dining space and modern bathrooms. All have high quality furnishings, linen and fittings, are fully serviced, and have well-equipped kitchens. Guests also have the option of patronising the in-house breakfastrooms. All hotels provide conventional concierge services.

The tariff is competitive: the rate is per suite (irrespective of guest numbers commensurate with the size of the suite), not per person. Long term rates are available.

Few rooms in conventional hotels can match the spaciousness of Don's suites.

Embodied in the Don Suite Hotels philosophy and service is the charming: 'Freedom to stay your way' invitation to new and regular guests.
