Set in expansive gardens, this handsome Cape Dutch Revival homestead dating from 1908 was designed by Sir Herbert Baker. The rooms and suites are spacious and comfortable affairs, and some have private terraces – perfect for people in town to work or socialise. There's a restaurant, bar, pool and spa, with an appealing mix of history and contemporary style throughout.
The restaurant serves dishes from steaks to kingklip, making a stay at this five-star property a gustatory pleasure. The hotel is located near the Newlands sports grounds.
