Luxury Hotels Cape Town

Luxury hotels in Cape Town have proliferated in recent years.

The days when the Mount Nelson was your first and only choice are long gone (though that ‘grand old lady’ can still hold her head high in this category!)

The arrival of the concept of “boutique hotels” in Cape Town has also added some exciting, contemporary newcomers, and the best Cape town tour guides will confirm my opinion that top CapeTown guesthouses offer incredible service and comfort.

Spectacular comfort and service are just the start when it comes to what a Cape Town luxury hotel offers.

So let’s take a look at what else the establishments offer, to ensure your stay is memorable for all the right reasons!

My favourite luxury hotels in Cape Town

As a Capetonian I don’t have much call for staying in hotels, but I’m well aware of the best of them! These are the ones I love, and why.

At the Radisson it’s all about perfect location.

It is right on the rocks at Granger Bay, so it’s convenient for the Waterfront and city centre while still being out of the hustle and bustle. We love to have dinner there and sit on the deck at Tobago’s watching the yachts come and go. They ahve a wonderful dining terrace and daily seafood barbecue which is VERY good.

Cape Grace Cape Town
This is my favourite of the Cape Town Waterfront hotels, because of its wonderful location.

When George W. Bush visited Cape Town he stayed at the Cape Grace! It was in the heart of Waterfront yet slightly aloof, perfect for his security arrangements!

It’s central but a little removed from the main traffic areas, so it feels totally serene. My husband says it’s his secret business weapon – no one says “No” to a breakfast meeting at the Cape Grace!

Mount Nelson Hotel Cape Town
Famous with locals like me for the amazing English High Tea (and more recently, setting up a five star worm farm!) the Nellie is a historic landmark here.

This gracious hotel is in Constantia and you'll feel as though you are visiting a country estate.

If peaceful tranquility suits you (think enormous oak trees and a lavender knot garden to name a couple of elements) this is a wonderful country hotel in Cape Town.
