This grand old Victorian building, dating from the eighteen hundreds, recently had a radical face-lift. With three giant floors of cosy rooms and woodwork restored to its original splendour, the interior feels fresh and majestic.
From the two enormous balconies on the first and second floors, you can spy on the street life, look out over the skyline onto the slopes of Signal Hill or see the ocean above the palm trees on the other side.
From late afternoon you can meet fellow travellers in our spacious buzzing bar for a drink or a game of pool. Just outside is Cape Town's hub of activity that is Long Street.
Take your pick of the bars, clubs and restaurants that line the pavement from the doorstep and step into the best of the city's nightlife.
We are five minutes walk from the famous Greenmarket Square and the Cape Town city centre. Table Mountain cable car station and Camps Bay / Clifton beaches are a 5 minute drive away.
