Located in one of Cape Town’s most prestigious enclaves high on the slopes of Table Mountain, Kensington Place is a true boutique hotel with only eight individually decorated rooms, exceptional service, and outstanding attention to detail. A cosmopolitan collection of modern art and eclectic modernist furniture make up the interior, while the exterior is given over to the aquamarine plunge pool and a sophisticated terrace that has sweeping views of the twinkling city lights by night and of historic Table Bay by day. Treat yourself to the seasonal breakfast on the sunny verandah and cap off your evening with a top-notch tipple from the bar while catching up next to a copper-mantled open fireplace. Idyllic for honeymooners, couples, or solo guests who want personalized service and intimacy, Kensington Place is within easy driving distance of all the city’s major sites, including Camps Bay, Table Mountain, Clifton, and the V&A Waterfront.

Rooms

Superior Room

The spacious and inviting rooms – furnished with leading modernist Italian pieces - feature a lounge area and a balcony overlooking the garden with sweeping views of Table Mountain, the city, and the ocean beyond. An in-room entertainment center has an iPod docking station, a Wi-Fi laptop, and a large flat-screen TV if you wish to snuggle up with a movie from the DVD library.

Whatever the season, underfloor heating and air conditioning keep the temperature to your liking. The en suite bathroom has a rain shower and a huge sunken bathtub, with a range of signature Molton Brown amenities. Grab the beach bag and towels before you head off to Clifton or Camps Bay to top up on the sunshine. The single Standard Room at Kensington Place has many of the amenities of the Superior Rooms but there is no terrace and the bed is queen-sized.

Facilities

At Kensington Place, it is the little things that count. Fitness fanatics have access to a complimentary membership of the nearby Virgin Active Gym or can work out in the privacy of their rooms with Gym in a Bag. Complimentary Wi-Fi and laptop access means you can stay in touch, while flat-screen in-room TVs and a wide-ranging DVD library are perfect for nights you prefer to stay in with room service. The concierge will be happy to suggest anything from Cape Town’s best restaurants to suggestions for leafy wine estates for lunch.

Dining

A superb a la carte menu is available throughout the day and is amended seasonally to ensure the best of local produce.
