The Townhouse Hotel

For both business and leisure, the Townhouse Hotel and Conference Centre is Cape Town's most perfectly appointed hospitality venue.

This individually-styled hotel is set in a surprisingly tranquil corner of the city centre, adjacent to the South African Parliamentary precinct and the historic oak-lined avenues of the famed Dutch East India Company Gardens.

Though 4-star comforts and amenities offered are decidedly more 21st century, the Townhouse Hotel is still an intimate, individualised hotel experience, with just 106 selected ensuite accommodation options - from single rooms to deluxe and deluxe family suites.

Beautifully designed and newly refurbished, these inviting climate-controlled spaces include free high-speed internet and DSTV, and personal touches like freshly baked cookies from a Michelin trained executive chef, who conceives the hotel's gourmet menu, showcasing unique South African flavours and vintages.

For leisure seekers, this is a natural point of departure to attractions like the Cape Town Castle, major museums and the souvenir shopping mecca of Greenmarket Square, while the V&A Waterfront and Table Mountain are easily accessible.
