Purple Rayn

Cape Town


The huge rooms here all have patios or balconies with magnificent views of forest, mountain or the sprawling suburbs stretching all the way to False Bay. Decor is playful, with each suite having its own personality. There's an on-site spa and the restaurant, Opera Cafe, is also open to non-guests for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
