Much of the city centre’s past dates back to the 1700 and 1800s, with many historic buildings still to be seen. One such Georgian to Victorian gem is now the Cape Cadogan, a refined boutique hotel that’s perfect for couples who want a very comfortable stay and the freedom to walk to restaurants, boutiques and attractions. Situated in the upscale neighbourhood of Gardens, it is an outstanding location to access Table Mountain and the V&A Waterfront.

Stepping off the street, you enter a calm oasis where classic pieces mingle with contemporary touches. As a treat, consider opting for the rooftop suite that has its own plunge pool for summer days and cosy fireplace for chilly winter nights in Cape Town.
