About Hotels in Cape Town
Cape Town is one of the world's most breathtaking cities, where the iconic Table Mountain provides a dramatic backdrop to a destination bursting with character. Whether you're exploring the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, watching a Test match at Newlands, dining along the V&A Waterfront, or discovering the history of Robben Island, the Mother City rewards at every turn.
From grand five-star hotels along the V&A Waterfront to intimate boutique stays in the cobbled lanes of the City Bowl, Cape Town offers accommodation for every taste and budget. The city centre is walkable, and the MyCiTi bus network connects key neighbourhoods with ease.
Where to Stay in Cape Town
V&A Waterfront
Cape Town's most popular base for first-time visitors. Surrounded by restaurants, shops, and the ferry to Robben Island, with Table Mountain as a constant backdrop and everything within easy reach.
Camps Bay
Cape Town's glamorous beachfront strip, lined with upscale hotels, chic restaurants, and white sand beaches backed by the Twelve Apostles mountain range. The place to stay for luxury with a view.
De Waterkant
A colourful, creative neighbourhood of restored Cape Malay cottages and cobbled streets. Close to the Cape Quarter and Green Point, it attracts a lively, design-conscious crowd seeking boutique character.
Gardens & City Bowl
A quieter, residential base on the slopes of Table Mountain, offering excellent value and easy access to the Company's Garden, the South African Museum, and the city centre on foot.
Airport and Transport Guide
Cape Town is served by Cape Town International Airport (CPT), the second-busiest airport in South Africa, with direct connections to major African cities and long-haul flights to Europe and beyond. The Airport Shuttle Bus (Ashton Shared Shuttle and similar services) runs regularly between the airport and the City Bowl, taking approximately 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. The MyCiTi Bus Route 112 offers a reliable, affordable link to the city centre and runs until late evening.
Within Cape Town, the MyCiTi Bus network covers the Atlantic Seaboard, City Bowl, and Waterfront areas, with the myconnect card offering the best value for visitors making multiple journeys. The Metrorail suburban train network is extensive but best used with local guidance on safe routes and times. Metered taxis do not cruise, so must be pre-booked; expect to pay R150–R250 for most inner-city journeys. Uber and inDrive are both widely available and represent the most convenient option for most visitors.
Tips for Finding the Best Hotel Deal in Cape Town
- Book at least 8–10 weeks ahead during peak demand — the Cape Town Jazz Festival in March and New Year on the Waterfront fill hotels exceptionally fast.
- Neighbourhoods such as Observatory and Salt River offer noticeably lower nightly rates than the City Bowl or Waterfront, with MyCiTi bus access nearby.
- Look for hotels that include breakfast — dining out in popular areas like the V&A Waterfront adds up quickly and a good spread saves both time and money.
- Choose rooms with free cancellation where possible, as Cape Town weather and seasonal demand can shift plans — especially during the unpredictable shoulder months.
- Weekend stays attract a premium in Cape Town due to domestic leisure travel; midweek nights from Monday to Thursday are consistently cheaper at most hotels.
- Enrol in loyalty programmes early — Marriott has a strong Cape Town presence across several properties, and Sun International members benefit from regular promotional rates.
When to Visit Cape Town for Lower Prices
Winter (Low Season)
June to August brings cool, wet weather and the lowest hotel prices of the year. The city is quieter, whale watching begins along the coast, and mid-range hotels can be found from around £60–£90 per night. A rewarding time for budget-conscious visitors.
Spring (Value Season)
September and October see the Cape Floral Kingdom bloom spectacularly, with warming temperatures and prices still below the summer peak. Crowds are manageable and conditions for hiking Table Mountain are often excellent.
Summer (High Season)
November to February is peak season, with long sunny days, packed beaches, and the highest hotel rates of the year. New Year and the Cape Town Jazz Festival drive particular demand spikes. Book well in advance to secure good value.
Autumn (Value Season)
March to May offers warm, settled weather as summer crowds thin and prices begin to ease. The Cape Winelands are at their most beautiful during harvest season, making this an excellent time for both city stays and day trips.
Popular Areas to Stay in Cape Town
City Bowl & De Waterkant
Cape Town's most central neighbourhood, within walking distance of the V&A Waterfront, Company's Garden, and Bo-Kaap. Hotel demand is high year-round, so book early for the best rates.
V&A Waterfront
Upscale hotels line the working harbour, with direct access to designer boutiques, the Two Oceans Aquarium, and Robben Island ferries. A polished, self-contained base with premium pricing to match.
Rosebank & Upper Claremont
A quietly efficient business corridor along the Southern Suburbs rail line, popular with corporate travellers visiting Claremont's office parks. Well-priced hotels and easy access to the M3 motorway.
Woodstock & Salt River
A regenerated creative quarter of converted warehouses, independent galleries, and craft food markets. Increasingly popular with design-minded visitors seeking local character away from the tourist mainstream.
