This week’s photo essay features the luxurious four-star Maropeng Hotel. Opened in mid-2006, the boutique hotel is a five-minute walk from Maropeng, and 10 km (6 mi) from the Sterkfontein Caves. The Maropeng Hotel won the award for best established four-star hotel or lodge accommodation at the West Rand Tourism Awards in 2009.

The Maropeng Hotel caters for everyone: it is ideal for a romantic getaway, a pleasure for executives seeking a convenient conference venue with accommodation not too far out of town, perfect for local visitors wanting a short escape to refresh their souls, and a warm welcome for international tourists wanting to see some of the best attractions South Africa has to offer.
