$160-250 / đêm
Đặt phòng nếu You want 5-star Indian hospitality and history in the dead center of Cape Town without the V&A Waterfront price tag.
Tại Sao Mọi Người Yêu Thích Nó
- Bombay Brasserie is arguably the best Indian food in the city
- The Heritage Wing rooms have genuine character with high ceilings and sash windows
- Location is walkable to Bo-Kaap and Company's Garden during the day
Tóm tắt nhanh: A grand historic dame that delivers on service and curry but feels a bit corporate and isolated in the CBD after dark.
Được đánh giá bởi @nawfanurie: I felt like absolute royalty staying here. The location in the historic center is perfect, but honestly, I could have stayed in my suite all day just staring at Table Mountain. Also, do not skip dinner—the Indian cuisine was the highlight of my trip!

Reality check
The location is fantastic for daytime sightseeing but turns into a ghost town (or a sketchy one) immediately after sunset.
- You appreciate historic architecture (it's the old Reserve Bank)
- You prioritize a killer breakfast buffet over a beach view
- You want a central base for business or daytime exploration

FAQ & Những mẹo ẩn
Mọi thứ bạn thực sự muốn biết trước khi đặt phòng.
Is the area safe to walk at night?
No. The CBD empties out after 5pm and becomes risky. Always take an Uber, even for a few blocks.
Does the hotel have a pool?
Yes, a heated indoor lap pool. It's nice but can feel a bit enclosed and doesn't get direct sun.
Which room type is better: Heritage or Tower?
Heritage for history, high ceilings, and quiet. Tower for floor-to-ceiling windows, balconies, and mountain views.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, and it's excellent. If your rate doesn't include it, expect to pay around $20-$25 pp.
How far is the V&A Waterfront?
About a 10-minute drive or Uber ride. It's not safely walkable at night.
Is there a resort fee?
No hidden resort fee, just the standard 1% tourism levy.
