The best "classic" rooms marry modern design with old-fashioned charm (a few antiques, floral artworks) -- ask for no. 306.

"A renowned, privately owned four-star hotel on Sea Point’s coastal boulevard. Tailor-made tours to the Winelands or to Cape Point can be arranged through consultation with the management."

"Designed to cater for fun-loving adrenaline junkies (the 'climber' fixed to the wall outside should be a clue), the design gimmicks here add a fun element to one's overall experience." Full review

"Has a steady business traveler clientele and... host frequent conferences, but it brands itself as a wild party spot with a bar that features live music." Full review

"Initially built as a highly themed hotel—interior elements like elevators kitted out as a shark cage underwater or a Table Mountain cable car mid-journey, and a "climbing wall" still exist." Full review
