Lonely Planet "The sugar-pink painted ‘Nellie’ recalls Cape Town’s colonial era with its chintz decor and doormen in pith helmets."
DK Eyewitness "A colonial masterpiece and Cape Town’s most famous hotel, the “Pink Lady” is at the foot of Table Mountain."
Rough Guide "Set in extensive established gardens, with arrival along a palm-lined colonnade, its location is unbeatable – the city centre is on the doorstep – but you pay through the nose for what you get."
Time Out "Since it opened in 1899, the city's undisputed grande dame has played host to a slew of dignitaries and stars and it continues to be a hotel of choice for well-heeled travellers." Full review

Condé Nast Traveler "Sophisticated beachside digs in the ultra-trendy Camps Bay suburb of Cape Town. It's part South Beach, part Saint-Tropez, and a whole lot of sexy." Full review
Lonely Planet "So exclusive it's tricky to find the entrance, the exquisite Marly sits high above the Camps Bay throng, but is close enough for you to hear the crash of waves (not to mention the Victoria Rd traffic)." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A small boutique hotel perched above a choice of bars and restaurants and overlooking the beach, The Marly is a very welcome addition to the limited hotel options on Camps Bay’s sunset strip." Full review
Wallpaper "With just 11 suites, Cape Town’s The Marly is proof that big things come in small packages." Full review
