The Alphen is an elegant boutique hotel in Cape Town's historic Constantia Valley, one of the oldest and most renowned wine producing regions in the Cape. With a history dating back to its origins as a wine farm in the early seventeenth century, this beautiful hotel still has a timeless Cape Dutch feel, with a modern designer edge and exceptional facilities. Accommodation consists of 19 plush suites in glorious park-like grounds, and the three restaurant are simply fabulous, as are the eateries in the surrounding vineyards. In fact, you might not even have enough time to try them all!




The nineteen suites are spread across three manor houses in the grounds, whilst one is completely separate from the main hotel area. All have a unique design, with quirky bohemian touches adding a modern element to the vintage interiors. The bathrooms are fabulous and all come complete with rain showers and deep bath tubs. Size-wise, the rooms range in size from the standard (but not exactly small) Classic Suites, to slightly larger Superior Suites with a lounge, and the biggest of them all, the Deluxe Suites. Extra touches include espresso machines, WiFi, and 24-hour room service.
