South Africans feeling the pinch ahead of the Easter break may find some welcome relief when it comes to travel costs.
City Lodge Hotels has partnered with Edgars Club to offer members up to 30% off weekend stays across its network of 57 hotels in southern Africa.
The offer, valid for bookings from Friday to Sunday, arrives at a time when many consumers are increasingly relying on loyalty programmes to make their money go further, without completely giving up on leisure travel.
Enhanced amenities
City Lodge Hotels operates four well-known brands, Courtyard Hotel, City Lodge Hotel, Town Lodge and Road Lodge, catering to a wide spectrum of travellers, from budget-conscious guests to those seeking a more premium stay.
While affordability has long been at the core of the group’s appeal, its properties have steadily evolved, with upgrades that include modernised rooms and enhanced amenities suited to both business and leisure visitors.
For Edgars Club members, accessing the discount is simple: bookings are made via the City Lodge Hotels website, where users select the Edgars Club option and verify their membership to unlock reduced rates.
Value for customers
According to Zuki Jantjies, divisional director for sales and marketing, the collaboration is designed to deliver meaningful value to customers.
“Depending on their membership tier and preferred hotel brand, members can enjoy discounts ranging from 10% to 30% off the best available rate,” she explains.
For travellers watching their spending, the deal is a timely reminder that a quick weekend escape can still be within reach.
Refurbishment drive
Several properties across the group have also recently undergone, or are currently undergoing, refurbishments, adding a fresh layer of comfort and style to the guest experience.
In Gqeberha, the Courtyard Hotel Gqeberha is in the midst of a major upgrade, with newly redesigned rooms already offering a refreshed aesthetic and public areas set to follow.
At V&A Waterfront, City Lodge Hotel V&A Waterfront now features the signature Atlantic Social restaurant, which extends outdoors with canal views, along with the Atlantic Lounge bar showcasing South African wines and locally distilled spirits.
In Umhlanga, City Lodge Hotel Umhlanga Ridge has introduced the stylish Umoya Restaurant, complete with an outdoor deck and terrace designed for relaxed dining and people-watching.
Closer to Johannesburg, City Lodge Hotel Johannesburg Airport, Barbara Road, is nearing completion of an extensive revamp, promising a modernised stay just minutes from O. R. Tambo International Airport.
Consistent comfort and quality
Further afield, Town Lodge Bellville in Cape Town has refreshed its rooms and public spaces, while Town Lodge George, along the Garden Route, offers revitalised accommodation in a bright, welcoming setting.
Durban’s Road Lodge has also been updated with contemporary interiors, and Road Lodge N1 City continues to benefit from enhancements that make it an even more convenient base near major transport routes and business hubs.
These upgrades form part of a broader investment across the portfolio, ensuring guests enjoy consistent comfort and quality, now with the added benefit of savings for Edgars Club members this Easter.
