Set in a beautifully landscaped garden in the timeless Constantia Valley - an area renowned for its wineries, fine dining and the Green Belt walking trails - The Alphen Boutique Hotel has an intriguing history dating back over 400 years. Its look is faithful to the old while incorporating the new, underlined by a casual elegance throughout. With an ambiance not dissimilar to a grand English country estate, this multi-faceted hotel about 30 minutes from the Cape Town city centre features 19 top-notch suites spread across three manor houses. Two outstanding restaurants and a chic garden bar in an idyllic setting complete an unforgettable guest experience in the glorious Constantia Valley.
Wake in your plush suite and open the curtains to a crisp Cape Winelands morning. Then wander downstairs to La Belle - the all-day bakery - and enjoy a cappuccino and croissant while browsing the daily newspaper. As the day heats up, take a stroll through the manicured gardens as past guests like Cecil John Rhodes, Lord Charles Somerset, and Mark Twain would have done before you.
Arrange a driver to chauffeur you between several excellent wineries and explore the sun-soaked vineyards, tasting different varietals of the valley and admiring exquisite examples of Cape Dutch architecture. For a first-class dinner, retreat to a romantic candlelit corner of the hotel's Blanko restaurant situated in the Old Manor House. Clean lines, cool colors, and dramatic art set the scene for a superb classic Cape menu paired with a fantastic selection of local wine. If you are not quite ready for bed after you have left the restaurant, sway to some music under the stars at the glamorous Rose Bar...
