Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel

You can expect location with a capital L at this boutique guesthouse set within walking distance of trendy Kloof Street’s restaurants, bars and boutiques.

A listed national monument, the 19th-century Georgian-Victorian townhouse is romantic and boho-cool, referencing the hedonistic Oscar Wilde (it’s named after one of his fave London haunts). Rooms are light and airy spaces with great bathrooms.

There’s a complimentary cocktail hour each evening, along with transfers to the V&A Waterfront.
