November 2011: Clico in Rosebank has been awarded 5-star Boutique Hotel status by the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa.

Says Jeanette Schwegman, owner of this chic hotel, launched as a 4-star guesthouse five and a half years ago: “We have evolved and grown since opening in June 2006 and are immensely proud to have achieved this 5-star boutique hotel status. Our focus will continue to be on individual and intimate customer service to bring guests back, and keep them coming. Several of our guests have been with us since we opened our doors, and this is testimony to what we stand for.”

Officially opened in June 2006, Clico is perfectly situated in the leafy, central Rosebank, an upmarket suburb of South Africa’s commercial centre, Johannesburg.

Housed in a 60-year old Cape Dutch house, Clico is an engaging mix of old and new – from the original Oregon pine floorboards and antique inlaid-wood side tables from Morocco, to custom-made, comfortable couches and the modern, whimsical sculptures by Anton Smit.
