 Southern Sun The Cullinan 

Classical and stylish

Grand, elegant and ideally positioned between Cape Town’s city centre and the V&A Waterfront, Southern Sun The Cullinan offers a refined base for discovering the Mother City.

Behind its stately façade, warm South African hospitality and thoughtful touches create a stay that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. Guests can unwind beside the heated outdoor pool, indulge in a treatment at the spa, or stay active in the state-of-the-art gym, with the added convenience of an in-room ‘Gym in a Bag’. With its central location, excellent facilities and attentive service, The Cullinan blends the grandeur of a city landmark with the ease and comfort of a true home away from home.

Why we love Southern Sun The Cullinan

  • The beautiful courtyard pool is a welcome oasis after exploring Cape Town's attractions

  • If you are curious about Cape Malay cuisine, then head to the Peach Tree Restaurant for dinner

  • There's a shuttle bus service taking you effortlessly from the hotel to the V&A Waterfront

  • To help you unwind into the evening, we love the concept of the Royal African Night Spa where you can relax with three 60-minute spa therapies
