40 on Burg

Cape Town


If you want to be in the thick of Cape Town's dining, drinking and shopping scenes, 40 on Burg has a marvellous location just off Greenmarket Sq. Based in a 1930s art deco building, the large rooms have high ceilings, modern furnishings and views of the city centre hustle and bustle.

The owners also run an overland company, with weekly trips into southern Africa leaving from the hotel.
