Cape Cadogan: Centuries of Character and Magical Moments

Built in the early 1800s, the Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel’s roots run deep into the fabric of Cape Town. The property’s National Monument status highlights how the building’s Georgian and Victorian architecture are reflective of the styles that have shaped the city’s history. As such, it was important that the hotel’s renovations carefully preserved these historical elements while incorporating a new and confident aesthetic.

Refined yet bold – Cape Cadogan’s design is a harmonious blend of one-of-a-kind charisma and effortless elegance. On the outside, white walls punctuated by black window frames and accents make for an unmistakable and unforgettable façade. Inside, you’ll find spaces that are both luxurious and welcoming. Rich textures combine with emerald greens and golds to create an atmosphere of fashionable comfort in a palette inspired by Cape Town’s natural beauty.

This beauty is clearly visible from the moment you step outside the hotel’s doors. The vibrant Kloof Street neighbourhood thrums with life and offers a glimpse into the city’s contemporary culture. The area is thick with boutique shops and renowned eateries, including our very own award-winning Upper Union Restaurant. The neighbourhood’s central location also makes it an ideal home base for exploring Cape Town’s many iconic attractions.
