Luxury between Ocean and Mountains: Our Favourite Cape Town Hotels

Cape Town is a very popular destination, not only for locals making it their home but also as a tourist hub. Therefore when it comes to choosing the best luxury Cape Town hotel to call home during your stay, it can be overwhelming. With so many excellent choices to choose from, how do you decide on the best luxury Cape Town hotels for you? To ensure you have the best possible stay in South Africa’s Mother City, you want to ensure that you book with only the best. And that's where we come in.

When you're looking for the best, you book with the best! Cape Town is our hometown, and we know our city like an elephant knows its trunk! We've been planning dream holidays to Cape Town since 2004 and have been Africa's Leading Safari Company for seven years (and counting!). We've slept in these beds, know the hotel owners, and certainly know what we're talking about!

  • Camissa House – A luxury boutique hotel on the foothills of Table Mountain.
  • Cape Grace – Old-world sophistication in the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront.

Let's start planning

Cape Town’s top hotels and luxury guest houses

Cape Town is South Africa's oldest city, wrapped around the world-famous Table Mountain, one of the New7Wonders of Nature. With its unique combination of ocean, beaches, vineyards, mountains, city, and even penguins, it’s like nowhere else on earth.

Here, you'll experience genuine South African hospitality, some of the best restaurants in the world (three of which are in the world’s top 100!), incredible natural wonders, and a melting pot of cultures that all makes Cape Town consistently rank among the best cities in the world.

What can you expect from luxury Cape Town hotels?

When choosing where to stay in a Cape Town hotel, you’re spoilt for choice. Whether you want to stay in a classic hotel in the heart of the city or you want a more exclusive Villa on the outskirts, there’s plenty to choose from – a more extensive selection than in any other South African city! 

Exclusive-use luxury accommodation

If you don’t like sharing and want an elevated level of service, look no further than our exclusive-use Cape Town accommodation options. Whether you choose an intimate luxury boutique hotel on the slopes of Table Mountain with only a handful of luxury rooms like Camissa House, or you want your own private villa complete with a dedicated butler and chef like at Ellerman House, it will impress even the most discerning traveller. 

Rub shoulders with the rich and the famous

If you want to join the rich and the famous on sundrenched beaches and high-end cocktail lounges, stay in Cape Town’s own Millionaire’s Miles at these Camps Bay and Clifton Hotels. The affluent suburb of Bantry Bay is also home to swanky mansions with plenty of entertainment.

Entertainment galore in the V&A Waterfront

The Victoria & Alfred (V&A) Waterfront is a shopaholic’s paradise and offers some of the most beautiful hotels globally, including the One&Only Cape Town and Cape Grace. For those guests seeking something truly unique and luxurious, book a stay in The Silo Hotel set in a historic grain silo above the Zeitz MOCAA (Museum of Contemporary Art Africa).
