1. Compass House

• 9/10 Telegraph expert rating

• High on the slopes of Signal Hill, with unparalleled Table Mountain views, Dorp is a grand yet unpretentious place to stay. The work of a creative maverick, with a fairytale country garden adding to its otherworldly atmosphere, it is both haven and inspiration, and unlike any other hotel I’ve encountered.

2. Kensington Place

• 9/10 Telegraph expert rating

• Featured in every listing of the city’s top boutique hotels since it opened in 1997, and still ticking every box. Elegant décor; eight womb-like rooms; intelligent, warm service; cosy public spaces; good food, and a great location on the slopes of Table Mountain.

3. Tintswalo Atlantic

• 9/10 Telegraph expert rating

• Tintswalo is the only luxury Cape Town hotel located within Table Mountain National Park. At the base of precipitous Chapman’s Peak, it enjoys the most sublime location in the city, right on the ocean, with mesmerising views, excellent food and authentic, warm service.

4. Old Foundry Hotel

• 9/10 Telegraph expert rating

• Tucked into one of Cape Town’s hippest (and oldest) inner-city addresses is the Old Foundry Hotel, an atmospheric multi-use space where industrial history meets contemporary suave.
