Stay in and relax at the plunge pool or in our lounge/meeting room. Step out of our doors and you'll find yourself in the middle of Cape Town's famed café culture. Or venture a little further to explore the Cape's world famous landmarks such as Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront and Clifton and Camps Bay beaches.

Only unstinting quality and attention to detail can shift a place from being merely convenient to seriously comfortable.
Details like fine cotton linen, king size beds, leather couches, cherry wood floors and interior design that lets you breathe a little deeper.
