If you’re looking for intimate accommodation with tranquil surrounds and an atmosphere of quiet elegance in the pulse of Cape Town, where you’re waited on hand and foot; then we suggest you stay in one of our top 5 Boutique Hotels in Cape Town’s City Centre.
Here’s our list of the chic boutique hotels in Cape Town :
Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel in Gardens
The oh-so-delicate Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel is a gentle blend of Georgian and Victorian architecture; and was actually declared a national monument in 1984. Set at the foot of Table Mountain in a leafy, sought-after suburb, this diamond of a hotel is very popular with guests seeking a soulful and peaceful retreat.
In the evening time, soft lighting creates a golden glow over the patio, while white-washed walls provide quite the striking composition against the lush green gardens. Gentle, chic and fresh ; Cape Cadogan’s superior luxury suite, seven standard and seven luxury rooms certainly set the standard for luxurious accommodation in Cape Town.
Cloud 9 Boutique Hotel and Spa
Head to Cloud 9 Boutique Hotel and Spa if you’re after accommodation that is the epitome of stylish, trendy and has colourful designer elements scattered throughout. Within walking distance vibrant eateries, organic cafes, award-wining restaurants and the pulse of Cape Town life, is the eclectic Kloof and Long Streets.
Cloud 9 comprises four individual properties that joined forces to bring the public a superb 47-room boutique hotel. There are three heritage properties and then the previously named Leeuwenvoet House. Each of the rooms has the modern amenities one would expect from first class property, and if that’s not enough then there are on-site restaurants and a much talked about rooftop bar with a 360-degree of the city and surrounding landscape.
Sitting comfortably at the foot of the slopes of Table Mountain lies the rather regal Abbey Manor. A curious mix of modern decor contrasts the rather classic exterior boasting an atmosphere of old world charm. Abbey Manor is more guest house than boutique hotel, but it’s made the cut for our list because it sort of straddles the line between both categories.
Spacious, luxurious accommodation with 360 degree views of Table Mountain awaits. Abbey Manor is grand, rich with colour and certainly spares nothing when it comes to glamour. Built in 1905, this historical building contains quite the monumental heritage. Combine understated “old school” wealth with a modern take on design, Abbey Manor has married the two worlds perfectly. There are grand rooms, luxury rooms and a main area housing a swimming pool, lounge and elegant dining area.
A delightfully genteel option for guests seeking tranquil and relaxing accommodation.
Manna Bay, Oranjezicht
Manna Bay is a luxurious boutique hotel with a flair for the unique. Each room has a play on a different theme, from birds to world exploration, it’s a world of creative wonder. There are seven luxury rooms and one very glamorous suite with expansive views of the looming mountain that is Cape Town’s famous backdrop. The architecture of MannBay is clean, modern and has strong lines carried throughout. New York pizzaz with an injection of African wonder. Simple wood structures with plenty of open windows and clean structures.
Rooms have all the digital necessities from home. Flat-screen TVs, interactive media centres, movies and music, iPod docking station and WiFi are just a few of the things to be enjoyed in case the storms roll in.
Manna Bay is for the creative, modern traveller that desires high standards with all the comforts from home.
Three Boutique Hotel,Oranjezicht
There are three natural landmark views all visible from the Three Boutique Hotel roof terrace – Table Mountain, Lions Head and Devil’s Peak.
