When Marriott International launched its Marriott Homes and Villas in 2019, it was with the aim of offering guests a different kind of accommodation on their travels, regardless of wherever their journeys took them. So it comes as no surprise that the hospitality giant has now announced the addition of almost 300 exclusive Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban homes to its Homes and Villas platform, marking the collection’s debut in South Africa.

These new additions come on the heels of the opening of the first Marriott hotel in Lagos, Nigeria, which took place last year. While visitors to Nigeria can enjoy luxury and the quality that is the mark of the brand at the hotel, travellers to South Africa, especially those travelling in large groups, can now take advantage of these new offerings for better privacy, comfort and independence on their trip.

Leveraging Marriott International’s decades of delivering exceptional hospitality experience, each home listed on Homes and Villas by Marriott International is professionally managed and meets the company’s design, cleanliness, safety and amenity standards.

Homes and Villas by Marriott International is also the only home rental offering that participates in the award-winning travel programme, Marriott Bonvoy, which enables members to earn and redeem points for stays across home rentals and over 7000+ hotels and resorts globally. Each stay includes 24/7 support, professional cleaning, high-speed Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen, premium linens, towels and bath amenities, laundry, and children’s items upon request.

Some of the selected homes immediately available to guests for the summer include

1. A tranquil modern three-bedroom villa with a mountain view in the serene neighbourhood of Bishopscourt, Cape Town

2. The Emerald, a modern two-bedroom luxury apartment with a private balcony. Guests can enjoy lunch at the on-site restaurant overlooking the green suburb of Hyde Park, Johannesburg.

3. A Contemporary African beach-chic-styled four-bedroom home with a pool overlooking the stunning Clifton Beach.
