Hotel Accommodation Cape Town

A room with a view, high tea, historical elegance, the touch of crystal or the constant crash of the waves on the rocks might be a few of the things you need to make your holiday really unforgettable. At one of the many hotels in Cape Town you will find at least one of your wishes will come true, if not all.

From the Mount Nelson’s proud elegance to the trendsetting brand new One & Only you will have spectacular views, elegance that drips from the walls and the moody Atlantic Ocean a constant reminder that you are visiting the Cape of Storms.

If those luxuries sound too much like money, rests assure there are many other more basic hotels that will suit the needs of travelers.

Even if the Mount Nelson is too pricey, you can still enjoy the luxury of their high tea without staying at the hotel. The Mount Nelson stands proudly at the foot of Table Mountain right in the city of Cape Town. You will feel as if a little courtesy bow would be in order when you walk past it. The elegance and old-world charm can not easily be contested. High tea is around R150 per person and you will be able to lift a pinky, while holding a fine porcelain cup in the traditional English way.

Sol Kerzner left nothing to chance with the addition of a One & Only hotel to the already busy Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. Walking into the entrance hall is like walking into another world. You will forget about everything outside those doors and start making plans on how to stay permanently. With a discreet butler service at your beck and call nobody would want to leave. In the typical One & Only style (he recently launched one in Dubai and the one in Mauritius has been a favorite for years), everything is bigger than life with a maid service twice a day and an aromatherapy turn- down menu at night.

Coming back to the real world, Cape Town has many other wonderful hotels that won’t break the bank and will definitely offer a great stay. The Breakwater Lodge is right there at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and if you didn’t know, there is no way you could have guessed, this classy hotel use to be a 19th century prison. To enjoy a bit of this class in a perfect location won’t set you back more than R1 200 night depending of the time of the year. Compared to the One & Only’s lowest priced room at over R6000, this is a steal.

The City Lodge hotels, Holiday Inn and Protea group regularly have specials where you might find something for less than a R1000 a night.

Those looking for a unique and different experience should consider the Daddy Long Legs Art Hotel. This boutique-style hotel is in the city and each room is a work of art. Different Cape Town artists, poets and musicians were commissioned to turn each room into a perfect work of art. Prices are per unit and very affordable.
