The Best Hotels in Cape Town for a Truly Local Stay - AFAR

"A design-forward downtown hotel composed of two restored buildings—one Edwardian, one Art Deco—this chic property showcases South African design and craftsmanship throughout, from a swing chair by a noted local designer to steel tables by a celebrated maker. Public spaces feel contemporary and warm with oak floors, leather-quilted sofas, and abundant plants, while the 32 rooms pair exposed cement ceilings with murals by a local artist. The indoor-outdoor rooftop restaurant and conservatory offers a tiny plunge pool and a menu of light plates such as burrata and fish tartare." - Mary Holland
