Mount Grace Goes it Alone

 Mount Grace Country House & Spa in South Africa’s Magaliesburg, to the north-west of Johannesburg, is set to go it alone as an independent brand.
 The property, together with African Pride Hotels, has announced the conclusion of their five-year partnership, effective 1 February. Having collaborated with African Pride Hotels since 2008, the hotel operator extrabold Hotel Management said that it was confident that the time was right to position the hotel independently.
“The move to independently brand, sell and market the Mount Grace continues to be in line with our goal of establishing the hotel as one of the leading luxury destinations in South Africa,” said Managing Director Xander Nijnens.
Extrabold will continue its relationship with Protea Hotels through extended franchise agreements in respect of six Protea Hotels-branded properties. Mount Grace operations will continue to run under the current management team of extrabold.
Mount Grace has also recently expanded its sales and marketing team under the leadership of Chantelle Mogg.
