This hotel lies in the heart of the centre of Cape Town, between New Church and Buitensingle Street. It is situated at the foot of Table Mountain and offers spectacular views of Signal Hill. Guests can visit the Victoria and Alfred waterfront, which is a desirable location for both the locals and international visitors. The hotel is situated some 25 km from Cape Town Airport.

How To Get There

From the Airport take the N2 from the Airport to town. As you near the city, the N2 and N1 meet up. Carry on straight over the traffic lights until the road becomes Buitengraght Street. Keep driving on Buitengraght Street until you see a Caltex garage on the left. Turn left at the traffic lights immediately after the garage (Buitensingel Road). Take the first road right (New Church Street) where you will find the hotel on your left.
