Peter Venison

Out of the Shadow of Sun Peter Venison

The international hotelier, Peter Venison, shares some of his exciting experiences over fifty years and three continents.




From revolutions, coups d'etat, air high-jackings, the fall of apartheid, the charisma of Nelson Mandela, the machinations of Wall Street, to the glamorous world of show business, fashion, and professional sport. Venison describes real events that read like a novel.




This is his journey from London's youngest luxury hotel manager, into and out of the shadow of the late Sol Kerzner, the world's most flamboyant hotel magnate, to finally being honoured by Her Majesty, the Queen, for his contribution to charity.
