Where to Stay in Cape Town

Cape Town offers a wide range of places to stay to its visitors. The choice ranges from top class luxury hotels, no nonsense business hotels to the standard category for the budget conscious traveller. The best area to stay in is the V&A Waterfront with its scenic views of the Table Mountains on one side and the sail boats bobbing in the harbour on the other.

Pepper Club Luxury Hotel & Spa, The Peninsula All-Suite Hotel and Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront, among many others are some of the high end luxury hotels that you can try while in Cape Town.

For an accommodation that offers all the creature comforts at decent prices you can consider hotels under deluxe range. Some of the options that you can try under this category are Cape Heritage Hotel, Winchester Mansions, Four Rosmead, and Blackheath Lodge.

Middle range and budget travellers can choose from the hotels like Protea Hotel, Holiday Inn Express, City Lodge, or Lady Hamilton Hotel.

Note: Finding an accommodation in Cape Town can be a problem, since the city’s popularity is growing rapidly with both South African and international tourists. December to January is the peak season for local tourism. The standard hotels rates at this time are twice as much as otherwise.

The foreign tourist season has been progressively extended throughout summer from October to March. The only way to guarantee the kind of place you want is to book ahead.
