Cape Cadogan

Cape Cadogan sits at 5 Upper Union Street in Gardens, within Cape Town’s City Bowl and just off Kloof Street’s cafés and boutiques. The heritage townhouse faces Table Mountain’s slopes and places guests a short drive from the V&A Waterfront and Atlantic Seaboard beaches. Its central-but-quiet position makes walking to dining and nightlife easy while keeping nights restful. Upper Union restaurant is on the same corner (No. 3 Upper Union), and airport transfers can be arranged for a fee, making arrival and departure straightforward for international travelers.

Accommodation spans 19 individually styled rooms in Classic, Luxury and Superior Luxury categories, plus a three-bedroom Cape Cadogan Residence for families or friends seeking more space and privacy. Expect thoughtful comforts like air-conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi and satellite TV; many rooms open to terraces or courtyards. Design balances original features with bold, contemporary layers—think patterned wallpapers, rich textures and locally crafted pieces. Layouts suit couples on a city break as well as small groups, with the Residence providing a lounge, dining area and private kitchenette alongside hotel services.

Leisure centers on calm, in-between-city-exploring moments: a seasonal outdoor pool and sun terrace; a petite spa offering massages and body treatments; and a compact fitness center for quick workouts. Breakfast is served at the hotel, while next door Upper Union handles lunch and dinner with a lively, modern menu. Concierge-style guest services arrange airport transfers, table bookings and guided excursions—from Table Mountain hikes to Peninsula day trips—so you can focus on enjoying Cape Town’s sights between relaxed hours in the courtyard or by the pool.
