About This Property
Cape Cadogan is a lovingly restored Georgian manor house in Cape Town's leafy Upper Gardens neighbourhood — one of the city's most prestigious residential areas, just steps from Kloof Street's restaurants and a short stroll from the Company's Garden and city centre.
The hotel occupies two adjoining heritage buildings dating from the 1890s, seamlessly renovated to combine period charm with contemporary comfort. Fourteen individually decorated rooms feature antique furnishings, original fireplaces, high ceilings, and luxurious bathrooms — each one different, each with its own character.
A heated swimming pool in the walled garden, an honesty bar in the elegant drawing room, and complimentary afternoon tea create the atmosphere of staying in a wealthy friend's private home rather than a hotel.
Why We Love It
Cape Cadogan captures something rare in Cape Town's hotel scene: genuine heritage character without stuffiness. The rooms are beautiful without being museum-like, the location is perfect for exploring on foot, and the afternoon tea service is a delightful daily ritual. It's the kind of place where you feel like a guest, not a customer.
