At a Glance
Located in the Camps Bay suburb, this hotel is set back from the bustling main road and directly opposite one of the best beaches on the Atlantic.
Review
This unpretentious boutique hotel heralded the beginning of Camps Bay’s transformation from the sleepy seaside suburb of my youth to the waterfront neighborhood of cafés and restaurants that draws loads of tourists. The Bay is still a lovely place to stay, set back from the bustling main road, and directly opposite one of the best beaches on the Atlantic. The rooms are airy and spacious with a relaxed, contemporary feel, and the raised pool deck offers a view of the bay and the palm trees along the beach. The hotel attracts a youngish clientele, and is apparently the rock-star hotel of choice, but in my experience it is a peaceful spot that delivers privacy and seclusion.
Who Should Stay
Return visitors to Cape Town who don’t need to be based in the center of town and prefer a seaside setting.
