Cape Cadogan – Cape Town, South Africa
If you like low key, intimate and understated, with a large slice of luxury, Cape Cadogan is the place to stay. A listed national monument in the fashionable Gardens suburb, looking directly up at Table Mountain, it’s effortlessly elegant and supremely welcoming. Inside, it’s positively labyrinthine, mixing bohemian chic, bold colour palettes and sophisticated, contemporary furnishings. And beyond, there’s a quiet courtyard terrace and pool.
Exceptional staff make you feel instantly at home, with the sole aim of making your stay as comfortable as possible. The restaurants, cafés and shops of the vibrant Kloof Street are just around the corner, whilst the Table Mountain cable car, Victoria and Albert Waterfront and Camps Bay are just ten minutes away. One of Cape Town’s best hotels, it’s a gem of a little hideaway.

activities
Cape Cadogan sits away from the hustle and bustle of Cape Town, yet you’re minutes from all the attractions the city has to offer. Kloof Street, with its cosmopolitan vibe, is full of quirky little boutiques, cafés and restaurants, is steps away, and the team here will point you in any direction you want to go. The cable car to the top of Table Mountain is close by, or head to the V&A Waterfront and take a ferry cross to Robben Island.
To get a real feel of Cape Town, township tours can be organised, and to see some of the Cape’s natural beauty, a tour of the peninsula. Both Stellenbosch and Franschhoek are easily reached from here, for a wine tour or two, and you can add whale watching on top.
