A landmark building in Cape Town, the Southern Sun The Cullinan is a classic hotel in one of the most sought-after areas in the city. Great for families, a delightful courtyard pool forms the focal point and its elegant styling throughout attracts a number of international sports teams, making it fantastic for a bit of star spotting. It also has Cape Town's main attractions right on its doorstep, making it a popular choice. Aside from the impressive lobby, grand outdoor area with heated pool and the pretty terrace area that surrounds it, facilities here include a breakfast room and an elegant à la carte restaurant, Peach Tree. Stella Cafe & Bar provides a Parisian-inspired space to relax beneath the stars at the end of a long day. The shuttle bus operates hourly throughout the day, taking you effortlessly from the hotel to the V&A Waterfront. There are 394 rooms, ranging from Standard Rooms to more spacious Executive Rooms which come with complimentary fruit and wine on arrival. Family Rooms are great for those travelling with kids, while if you want something even larger, opt for one of the spacious Suites with a separate sitting area.
Sat at the foot of Table Mountain, you couldn’t wish for a more iconic location while staying in South Africa. First opened in 1899, this hotel makes a statement with its soft pink exterior surrounded by beautiful gardens of roses and jacaranda trees. The gracious living of a bygone age blends perfectly with contemporary comfort here, where a grand façade meets chic décor and a relaxed atmosphere. Vast grounds make this a unique find in a city such as Cape Town and the entire hotel has the distinct Belmond feel to it; timeless, classic, luxurious. Indulge in the iconic tradition of Afternoon Tea, served in the dignified lounge or outside among the lush gardens. Dinner is served in the enchanting Planet Restaurant with lights resembling stars twinkling over you – an experience enhanced by dulcet melodies from the resident pianist. For keen foodies, you can enjoy dinner at the Chef’s Table; watch as dishes are skilfully prepared and take the opportunity to ask about anything from the sauce on your main dish to where each ingredient has come from. Every wing has a completely different feel, with the main building the most contemporary compared to the historic Helmsley Wing. Rooms are light and airy with the feel of a modern boutique hotel combined with impeccable Belmond standards. Deluxe Rooms are found on the higher floors and have a living area, with some rooms and suites featuring balconies.
In a superb setting beside one of the original quays, this stylish hotel is just a short stroll from the popular V&A Waterfront complex. Originally built in 1904 as the North Quay Warehouse, it was converted in 1990 to a luxury hotel. The location means that there is plenty of dining and drinking options at your doorstep, however the Ginja Restaurant, which overlooks the harbour, is ideal for watching daily life go by and offers some of the finest food in the area. It also offers an amazing walk-in wine cellar and its minimalist décor, dramatic views and inviting surroundings all add to its appeal. Aside from dining, there is also a wonderful spa and swimming pool set just across the road among lush gardens – the perfect place to unwind after a busy day. There are 94 spacious rooms, each chic and comfortable with a welcoming atmosphere and the modern conveniences you’d expect, including free Wi-Fi. Superior Loft Rooms are on the top floor and although smaller are ingeniously designed into the eaves of the building while Piazza Facing Rooms and Mountain Facing Rooms are more spacious with different views.
Offering the comfort of a home away from home, these spacious, modern apartments are enviably positioned around the older scenic wharves of Cape Town Harbour, close to the V&A Waterfront’s array of dining and shopping options. The gated site comes complete with a pool and each apartment features its own kitchen as well as a private balcony or terrace, making it great for longer stays as well as families.
Bohemian chic is the hallmark of this beautiful national monument hotel. The interiors are gorgeous and complement the classic Victorian-style façade perfectly – think plush fabrics and soft, grey tones. There's a subtle boutique vibe and its location on Kloof Street means you're moments away from plenty of local restaurants and bars. There’s a beautiful breakfast room and if you're feeling peckish in the afternoon, there's tea, lemonade and homemade treats in the library to help yourself to. The comfortable lounge is the ideal spot to relax with a good book in front of the fireplace. At the evening social, you can chat to fellow guests over complimentary canapés and some sherry or port. And if you're not sure where to head for dinner, the friendly staff will happily recommend and book you a table at one of the great restaurants nearby. You’ll also find a small pool, great for cooling down after some time spent on the terrace. Because of the hotel's national monument status, the 15 rooms all have slightly varying layouts, a feature that adds to the property's alluring charm. Each room is light and airy with a range of amenities including a mini fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. For extra space, opt for a Luxury Room which features a private courtyard and a terrace or balcony.
If you’re looking to explore Cape Town at your convenience, in a modern home-away-from-home environment, then More Quarters' luxurious, fully equipped apartments are ideal.

Away from your apartment there are some shared facilities including a breakfast room as well as a comfortable lounge and fireplace, the ideal place to stop and relax, or read a book from the library.

Taj Cape Town is striking, both inside and out. Incorporating a modern tower as well as two heritage buildings, the old Reserve Bank Building and the Temple Chambers, the hotel perfectly balances old-world charm with all the modern amenities travellers expect. Looking out to the surrounding historic buildings of City Bowl, you're within walking distance of interesting sights including art galleries, museums and markets. A complimentary shuttle service means both V&A Waterfront and Table Mountain are a short drive away. There are two restaurants – a relaxed all-day dining restaurant, Mint, and an Indian speciality restaurant, Bombay Brasserie. The latter is highly popular with the locals so booking a table is recommended. Both are warm and welcoming and serve outstanding cuisine. Alongside this you’ll find a wonderful cocktail bar known as The Twankey Bar which is exceedingly popular with both locals and guests alike. The hotel's superb location on St George's Mall also means that you are not far from the city's best restaurants and nightlife, with Thursdays playing host to the Earth Fair Food Market where you can enjoy street food and local crafts right on your doorstep. There are 176 rooms and suites and each is light and beautifully appointed. Rooms are located in both the restored heritage buildings and the newer tower. Although they differ in décor and design, the two offer the same modern amenities and present a variety of options, with each of the contemporary Tower Rooms featuring a walk-out balcony. Luxury Rooms have city or mountain views, while staying in a Suite or Taj Club Room includes all the benefits of the Club Lounge, including evening canapés, cocktails and private breakfast. One and Two Bedroom Suites are also available, ideal for families and those that enjoy a little more space and luxury.
In a prime position by the sands of glitzy Camps Bay, The Bay Hotel is a stylish retreat popular with sun-seekers, glamour-hunters and celebrities for its retro glamour. Amazing views out over the water, plenty of space and an abundance of natural light combines with the laid-back atmosphere that permeates the resort to make it the ideal place to simply relax and unwind either before or after your thrilling South Africa adventure. Set to the backdrop of the Twelve Apostles mountain range, the location is not the only highlight to be found here. There are four pools to choose from, where you can sip on a daiquiri as you watch the world go by. Both the main temperature-controlled pool and solar-heated Sandy B pool ensure comfort in the cooler months, while the cabana pools offer a great people-watching view of the main strip and beach. If you’re looking for tranquillity away from the vibrant strip of Camps Bay, head to the spa for a bit of pampering. A visit to Tides is a great way to start the day, with floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing magnificent views as you tuck into a delicious buffet breakfast. After a long day, head to Bistro @ The Bay where you can enjoy superb cuisine made from the finest locally-sourced seasonal ingredients. As the day fades, Sandy B Private Beach Club is the place to be. Here, suntanned socialites sip on refreshing mojitos and you can kick back and relax as you watch the sun dip below the horizon. Rooms are clean and light with a split-level layout and views of the mountains, pool or sea.
The Winchester Mansions is a beautiful 1920s Cape Dutch property, and a third-generation family-owned hotel. Directly located on the Sea Point Promenade – a prominent area near to the V&A Waterfront and Cape Town's city centre – the hotel is well-positioned for exploring the city and visiting the nearby winelands, peninsulas and beautiful Clifton and Camps Bay beaches. At Harveys Restaurant, guests can enjoy a delightful fusion of South African and European inspired dishes within a stunning outdoor setting, an elegant courtyard resplendent in character and period charm. The hotel bar is an alternative setting for lighter meals and refreshing afternoon cocktails. Harveys Bar Terrace has a more casual ambience, and is positioned in front of the promenade overlooking the coastline. A real highlight is the popular Sunday Jazz Brunch, hosted throughout the year with live jazz from local and international artists (booking in advance is highly recommended). Enjoy a glass of sparkling wine and enjoy one of Cape Town's best brunches – with a pretty courtyard setting in the summer. Rooms consist of classic, contemporary, and larger suite styles. All rooms feature outstanding ocean or mountain views, and are generously furnished with a luxurious en suite and spacious open-plan layout. We particularly love the classic rooms, which have been decorated to reflect the historical signature of the hotel.
Retreat from the city to the Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa; the ultimate luxury escape nestled in the foothills of the Table Mountain National Park. It's lavishly decorated with monogrammed towels and orchids in guest rooms, and there's exceptional personalised service where nothing is too much trouble. It's the kind of hotel that locals make a special effort to visit, whether it's for the exceptional spa or the live music at the popular Leopard Bar. And while you'll feel serenely away-from-it-all thanks to the wide sea views, there's a complimentary shuttle that means you can be at the V&A Waterfront in around 15 minutes. You're ideally positioned to explore the wine routes, the Western Cape and Cape Floral Kingdom with nature trails leading off into the reserve and up into the mountains that are dotted with wonderful picnic spots. For blissful relaxation, we highly recommend booking a sunset massage in one of the hotel's outdoor mountain gazebos. At the hotel's renowned Azure Restaurant, the breakfast spread is incredible with oysters and Champagne set to ocean views with à la carte options available. At dinner, a memorable evening awaits where you can enjoy an outstanding original menu of contemporary international and African-fusion cuisine while overlooking a fantastic expanse of the Atlantic Ocean and a protected marine reserve. For a relaxing pre-dinner drink, we also love the Leopard Bar Terrace for excellent cocktails and one of the locals' favourite spots to watch sunsets over the ocean. The views are the key feature of the rooms, where each has a balcony or terrace which overlooks sprawling panoramas of either the nearby mountain range, ocean or wild fynbos gardens. Light and airy, the rooms are individually designed with different printed and fabric wallpaper. Classic Rooms are set on the ground floor looking out to the gardens. For a luxury break, we recommend combining some time here with the five-star Mont Rochelle Hotel in the beautiful wineland valley of Franschhoek.
Everything about The Silo does its location justice as the hotel above Africa’s biggest collection of contemporary art, Zeitz MOCAA. Housed in the top six floors of this former 1920s grain silo, this landmark building makes a statement with its reworked industrial exterior. And its vantage point means views that encompass the V&A Waterfront, Table Mountain and even Robben Island. The five-and-a-half-metre geometric feature windows are a conversation starter, ballooning out from the grey façade. From inside, every room is worthy of a photo; the exposed concrete walls are bathed in generous daylight, there’s commissioned original artwork everywhere, and the furnishings are all eye-catchingly eclectic. Hotel guests get priority access to The Granary Café, the hotel’s main restaurant, and half of The Silo Rooftop, where you can sip on a tempting Silo Signature cocktail to immense views of Cape Town. There’s also the exclusive art gallery, The Vault, where guests can browse work from up-and-coming local artists to complement the free entry to the Zeitz MOCAA. For those who like to keep active, there’s a sleek gym and a rooftop pool, while guests can also choose a treatment with exclusive products at the Silo Spa. The rooms and suites are all different by design. Blending high culture with distinctive fabrics and bright colours, they’re a refreshingly original alternative to standard hotel palettes of white and beige. All rooms have a balcony and at least one of the hotel’s striking feature windows so you can enjoy the city and ocean vistas below. Room types differ by size and view; Silo Rooms are well-sized with harbour views; Superior Suites have a mezzanine bedroom and mountain or harbour views; larger Deluxe Superior Suites are found on the higher floors. For more space, you have the option of Family Suites or Royal Suites which both have two bedrooms, while The Penthouse has separate living areas and the best views of Table Mountain.
A magnet for those who like their city hotel chic and stylish, this hotel has a central Cape Town location with direct access through its own palm-lined courtyard to Long Street – where you can wander around its beautifully restored Victorian buildings, vintage bookstores and heady mix of bohemian style restaurants and bars. There's a complimentary shuttle service to the V&A Waterfront where you can take a harbour cruise or catch the ferry to Robben Island. The newly renovated rooms have a boutique feel with features like white leather headboards and upholstered velvet sofas. We recommend picking a room with a balcony overlooking Lion’s Head and Table Mountain. This creative aesthetic makes its way down to Copa restaurant where sassy copper furnishings and cream sofas make up an inviting bistro style hangout serving the likes of seared ostrich, roasted vegetable salads and decadent desserts. And the latest addition, Ruby’s bakery, is a kooky pit stop for coffee on the go or to sit down with cakes and cold-pressed juices. The chilled-out mood continues with a retro cinema where weekly movie nights are held but guests can also slink down on any day to watch a film. Up on the 8th floor, Pepperclub makes the most of those iconic views with a petite rooftop pool that looks out over Table Mountain. Dip your toes or grab a light lunch after a gym workout or a top-to-toe treatment at the Cayenne Spa (at extra cost) – the spa has a nice little addition in the form of a youth menu offering teenagers treatments.
Part of the renowned Newmark Hotels’ portfolio, this intimate boutique hotel is a favourite with couples looking for some luxurious tranquillity close to Cape Town's attractions. Found on a quiet street set back from waterfront, it's just a few minutes' walk between this peaceful retreat and the vibrant V&A Waterfront's shops and restaurants. There's a stately, modern theme throughout that's perfect for travellers who want somewhere peaceful to return to at the end of a busy day. Guests pass through the beautiful three-floored atrium on their way to and from exploring the city, and for more leisurely days you also have access to the pool at neighbouring Dock House Boutique Hotel and the shared Sanctuary Spa where there's an impressive range of treatments. Breakfast is served buffet-style with à la carte options at Dash Restaurant & Bar, where you can enjoy a set menu for lunch and dinner to views of the harbour and Table Mountain. Guests are welcome to dine at the waterfront Ginja Restaurant, located at the neighbouring Victoria & Alfred Hotel. Each of the rooms and suites are beautifully furnished with chandeliers, elegant crown moulding and a modern palette of white, grey and purple. Deluxe Rooms overlook the courtyard and Premium Rooms all have a balcony with views of the harbour and/or Table Mountain.
