Looking for a luxurious, secluded place to stay? We’ve found an absolute gem nestled away right in the heart of the city…
It’s no secret that Cape Town has its fair share of beautiful accommodation, but if you’re looking for a truly memorable experience, then you need to visit The Cape Milner. Situated in Tamboerskloof, right under Signal Hill, it is an unexpected escape from the bustle of city life.
As you’re lead to your room by one of the hotel’s friendly staff members, be sure to take note of the beautiful corridors. They’re stocked with a mix of urban African Art Deco, and contemporary finishings of teals and mustards. The first thing you’ll see when you enter your room is the stunning view, as the windows and balconies look out over the entire city bowl – from the bay to the mountain. You’ll struggle to find any other place that provides such a great city views, while feeling so private.
Depending on your mood you can spend the afternoon in your room, relaxing in the huge bathtub (it’s big enough for two!), or you can soak up the sun while enjoying lunch or cocktails next to the gorgeous pool. The pool deck is so neatly tucked in by the hotel and shrubbery, you won’t believe that you are lazing around less than 50m from the road!
There are plenty of spacious lounge areas throughout the hotel for you to enjoy, so grab a book and find your own little corner! Alternatively you can make use of the complimentary Wi-fi to work, or watch your favourite series… If you’re feeling a bit more active, pump some iron at their in-house gym, or take the courtesy shuttle service to the V&A Waterfront for some retail therapy.
Due to its boutique style the service at The Cape Milner is incredibly high-class, and this is especially evident when you visit one of their dining facilities. Near the pool you’ll find a venue called the Glass Lounge. True to its name, the entire roof is made from transparent glass, providing a unique atmosphere during both sunlight and starlight hours. The décor is just the right amount of trendy to suit a light lunch, or evening cocktails.
Next to the Glass Lounge is the hotel’s restaurant, 2 On Milner. Serving both breakfast and dinner, the kitchen incorporates fresh ingredients and stylish presentation. The real elegance though, is in their menu – managing to provide a perfect balance of casual and stylish dishes. Your evening meal can be as classy or relaxed as you like!
Whether you pop in for dinner, stay for a night on a business trip, or go for a full-blown weeklong holiday, The Cape Milner is guaranteed to captivate you with its beauty, impress you with its service, and keep you coming back for more!
