Leeu Estates is only South African property on Condé Nast Traveler’s HOT LIST 2017
This accolade comes shortly after Leeu Estates, an exclusive South African luxury boutique property on the outskirts of Franschhoek in the Cape Winelands, was named one of the best new hotels on Travel + Leisure’s It List 2017, one of just 44 properties in the world.

The Condé Nast Traveler HOT LIST celebrates the best properties that have opened their doors during the past year. For this 21st edition of the HOT LIST, editors and reporters crisscrossed the globe to review hundreds of new properties first hand before choosing the stand-out winners, hotels that represent the vanguard of the hotel world.

Leeu Estates opened its doors in June 2016. Located between the mountainside and river with spectacular views of the Franschhoek valley, this exceptional property on 68 hectares of vineyards, landscaped gardens and fynbos (indigenous vegetation) is the ideal setting for unrivalled escapes where guests can see and enjoy the true experiences of a working wine farm.

Leeu Estates is testimony to the pillars of the Leeu Collection brand: superlative service with attention to the smallest detail; an award-winning wine portfolio, distinctive architecture and sophisticated design; inspiring art collections and manicured and detailed landscaping that reflects respect for the environment.

It all started as a personal journey for Leeu Collection’s founder Analjit Singh (aka BAS), an international investor of Indian origin. Captivated by the Western Cape’s exceptional beauty and vibrant energy during a trip to South Africa for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, he decided to buy a family home in the Franschhoek valley. The idea of a family home, however, soon transformed into what it is today – three historic farms joined to create a world-class hospitality and winemaking destination.
