16 Best Hotels in Cape Town

"Just off the main drag of Camps Bay beachfront is this hip, 17-room boutique hotel run on green architectural principles (it has its own water supply, for example). From the road, you enter a starkly modern architectural space that opens out into a smart, spacious indoor-outdoor cocktail bar with a lap pool and a sea view. Toward the back of the hotel is a Zen dining room—a cool, tranquil space to sip on a coffee before stepping out into the glare of a sunny day on the beach. Rooms are decked out with every home comfort imaginable. It's a conveniently located bolthole, set back from the busy Camps Bay beachfront without missing out on the cool vibe and ocean views, especially if you don’t want to hire a car. Everything is within walking distance, and you’re on the bus route into the city and to the Waterfront." - Jane Broughton
