Cape Town Where to Stay

Whether you are looking for a private villa, flooded with light, that overlooks spectacular Camps Bay, a flash boutique hotel in the dynamic urban downtown or a graceful Victorian B&B surrounded by hilly vineyards or lapped by a gentle harbour, you'll have no problem finding suitable accomodation in Cape Town.

While smart hotels downtown and at the Waterfront cater to the discerning short-term traveller as well as to the international business community, luxurious holiday flats designed for longer stays dot the Atlantic seaboard and False Bay.  The atmosphere ranges from the refined, traditional elegance of the Cape Grace to the funky, modern media vibe of smaller hotels like the Metropole or the laid-back beachfront style of the Protea Dolphin Beach. Just outside town, the Constantia wine farms offer a gracious and peaceful alternative for a weekend visit. Or head across Table Bay and stay at one of the numerous B&Bs off Marine Drive, where you'll enjoy postcard views of Table Mountain with the city glowing beneath it.

Many respected chains have their flagship enterprises in the Mother City, complete with world-class dining and spa facilities. If you're looking for a unique experience, try a small and innovative hotel run by one of Cape Town's own young entreprenuers. For those traveling on a more moderate budget, Cape Town also has a number of inviting options, in all the most popular areas.
