The standard rooms are more attractive and seriously lavish, with the city's best beds and great mountain views (request a unit on the fifth floor); the rates below rise in conjunction with room size.

"This sexy designer boutique hotel enjoys a great location on a quiet corner just a block from Camps Bay's main drag." Full review

For good value for the money, choose a luxury room with a view (rather than with a private pool), as the hotel's infinity pool on the deck with great ocean views is a preferable splash anyway.
