The City Lodge Hotel Group will start development of the 90-room Road Lodge Pietermaritzburg this month. It is scheduled to open for business in November and will become the 22nd Road Lodge in the country and the 56th hotel in the City Lodge Hotel Group.

It will be situated on the corner of New England Road and Hesketh Drive in Hayfields, Pietermaritzburg, and will employ a staff of 15.

The budget one-star brand within the four-brand City Lodge Hotel Group, which targets both business and leisure travellers, will allow up to three guests to share a room for the single room rate.
