Choosing the right accommodation sets the tone for your entire trip. Cape Town’s hospitality scene offers a range of five-star hotels and private penthouses that cater to discerning travellers seeking comfort, privacy and exceptional service. With a professional chauffeur handling airport transfers and city navigation, you can focus on the finer details – from ocean views to gourmet dining. Here’s a curated selection of the most prestigious places to stay in 2025.
At the heart of the V&A Waterfront lies Cape Grace, a Fairmont-managed hotel that recently reopened with a fresh design. Its 112 rooms and suites look out over the harbour, marina or Table Mountain, and interiors celebrate South African heritage through local art and materials. Guests can indulge in treatments at the serene spa and enjoy tasting menus at the Heirloom restaurant. Some room categories include chauffeur services, making transfers effortless.
Nearby, The Silo Hotel occupies a converted grain silo above the Zeitz MOCAA museum. The building’s prism-shaped windows frame panoramic views of the city and harbour. Staying here grants access to private museum tours and a rooftop restaurant, blending art appreciation with luxury accommodation. The hotel’s design and curated interiors ensure a memorable stay.
For a more intimate experience, Labotessa Luxury Boutique Hotel offers just eight suites in a restored 17th-century building on Church Square. Its Presidential Suite spans 310 m² and features private plunge pools and panoramic views. The hotel combines European charm with modern design and is ideal for travellers who value exclusivity.
If you prefer the independence of a private residence, consider luxury penthouse rentals along the Atlantic Seaboard in Camps Bay or Bantry Bay. These properties often include expansive terraces, private pools and dedicated staff. They are perfect for longer stays or families wanting a home-from-home experience with bespoke services.
Luxury accommodation in Cape Town goes beyond plush rooms. Spa facilities range from Cape Grace’s locally inspired treatments to The Silo Hotel’s rooftop wellness experiences. Families can enjoy kids’ clubs or nanny services, while couples may opt for romantic turndown amenities. When it comes to dining, choose establishments that offer halal-friendly menus. Cape Grace’s Heirloom restaurant features tasting menus with local flavours while The Silo’s rooftop restaurant focuses on fresh, seasonal ingredients. Always inform the hotel of dietary requirements when booking.
