Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel

This was our family of four’s first trip to Cape Town, and we were looking for a safe hotel in close proximity to shopping and restaurants. Cape Cadogan turned out to be a great choice overall. The location is excellent—just steps away from Kloof Street, where many of Cape Town’s best restaurants and cafés are located. The hotel itself has wonderful character and history; it’s impressive how they’ve preserved the architecture of a building dating back to the 1800s while still offering modern comfort. The rooms were very well appointed, with high-quality bedspreads and toiletries, and nothing to complain about in terms of comfort. Breakfast was very good, and overall the ambience of the hotel was warm, stylish, and relaxing. Between the location, the rooms, the food, and the atmosphere, the core experience was very strong. The only areas for improvement were around organization and attention to detail. The staff sometimes seemed a bit flustered, and prior to arrival we had tried calling several times to adjust tour timings without success. Once we arrived, it became clearer why—things felt slightly disorganized at times. A minor nit for a hotel of this caliber was that missing bathroom items were not proactively replaced, something typically expected at a high-end boutique property. Overall, Cape Cadogan is a charming, well-located boutique hotel with great history, comfort, and ambience. With a bit more polish in operations and attention to small details, it could be exceptional.

Carlo, thank you for sharing your award with us, your family. It's been a weekend to remember. Lots of walking, making new friends, laughing and just being part of this beautiful place. 10/10. 🩵

This is an excellent boutique hotel. What makes this place special is not the spaciousness and cleanliness of the rooms, the amenities, the food, the location (which are all top notch), it’s the people. The staff is exceptional. They are all friendly, welcoming and truly focused on making your stay something special. Don’t hesitate to book, you will love it.

When we arrived in Cape Town for our first visit to the city, the hotel we had reserved was underwhelming. With the help of our travel agents, we quickly relocated to Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel - and it elevated our entire experience in the city. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable, the entire staff (housekeeping, hotel, restaurant, bar, concierge) were over the top wonderful, the location is great for getting around the city and the waterfront and the food and hospitality were absolutely top shelf! If we return to Cape Town this is the only place we will consider staying.

This was an absolutely wonderful place to stay after our very long flight from the US. It was comfortable, luxurious, the staff pleasant (Kyle is the hotel manager), adjacent to a nice restaurant with delicious breakfasts, and a great location.
