Maropeng is a Setswana word meaning “returning to the place of origin” and this was kept in mind when the hotel was designed. The four elemental forces of nature – earth, fire, water and wind – that kickstarted life on Earth some 3-billion years ago feature prominently in the overall look of the establishment.

The following photo essay highlights some of the hotel’s luxurious features.
