ABOUT

Its properties span safari, coastal, wine country, and city settings, allowing guests to customize journeys focused on wildlife, cuisine, art, and culture.

Founded by Liz and Phil Biden in 1999, The Royal Portfolio began with their private home transformed into Royal Malewane, now part of the Greater Kruger National Park collection. The portfolio includes Royal Malewane (Kruger Park), La Residence (Cape Winelands), Birkenhead House (Hermanus coast), and The Silo Hotel (Cape Town). Celebrated for superb design, personal service, and distinctive locations, each property reflects Liz Biden’s signature style and hospitality. Sustainability and conservation are core values, with every stay supporting environmental protection and community upliftment through the Royal Portfolio Foundation, and guests can join hands-on efforts such as anti-poaching initiatives and wildlife research. The brand aims to make guests feel part of an extended family, prioritizing warmth, relaxation, and deeply personalized luxury travel.
