Five Star Hotels Cape Town

Here's my Luxury Hotel guide for you

Five star hotels in Cape Town will provide you with the requisite exceptional service and surroundings but a particular location may be important to you too.

Most of Cape Town’s top hotels are clustered round the City Bowl, the Waterfront and the Atlantic Seaboard suburbs between Mouille Point and Camps Bay, with only a few in the Southern Suburbs and Peninsula.

If you are looking for a less urban setting, might I suggest you consider a country hotel in Cape Town? They have a wonderful atmosphere and can be far more intimate.

And if you prefer more intimate urban establishments, our boutique hotels also offer an outstanding experience. (I've marked them in red down below.)

Just in case the star rating is essential for your peace of mind, here’s a list of the all the best Cape Town hotels (all five star) arranged by location.
