One really can’t overemphasise the case for visiting Cape Town. The magnificent beauty of Table Mountain and its range, that hugs the city tight, reassuringly present – making its way down to a dramatic coastline, by way of white sandy beaches, leafy suburbs and vibrant neighbourhoods, today commemorating a chequered past. Or is it the food? The fresh produce, fusion flavours, and of course, the highly regarded wine. The range of great places to stay in this exciting city is huge, but our collection of the best boutique hotels in Cape Town include something for all tastes, whether you’re looking to stay in the city, by the sea, or in the vineyards beyond.
