The Cape Milner Hotel

About The Cape Milner Hotel

Modern sophistication and an exceptional location a stone's throw from Cape Town's CBD.

Art Deco meets Victorian heritage in this central Cape Town hotel on the slopes of Table Mountain. The Cape Milner lies in the trendy suburb of Tamboerskloof, an easy walking distance from the heart of the city but beyond the fray. Its size is good too – with 57 rooms, it's neither large and impersonal nor a guesthouse. You'll enjoy lingering in the bar with an evening cocktail (from a wide and exotic menu), and losing yourself in the mountain views. The staff's "nothing is too much effort" attitude leaves you primed to make the most of the Mother City.

Property details

The property

The Cape Milner's stylish spaces make even casual moments feel a little bit grand, whether you're being served a cold something and a snack beside the swimming pool, or enjoying your morning espresso in the on-site restaurant, 2 on Milner. The Glass Lounge has the feel of a 1920's speakeasy (without the clandestine undercurrent), with posh furnishings, a swanky atmosphere, and a classic cocktail menu. It's a popular venue to get in the mood before a night on the town.

The rooms

The 57 rooms include two suites and 10 luxury rooms, all designed to reinvent the historic character of the Cape Milner. Standard rooms have queen-sized beds with quality linens, and en-suite bathrooms with walk-in showers. Luxury rooms are a touch more spacious, with an added work space and mini-bar. Top of the range are the Executive Suites, which have king-sized, extra-length beds, revolving flat-screen TVs, and balconies with captivating views.

Activities

As a first-rate city with a thriving arts and culture and restaurant scene, Cape Town offers a bevy of options. Stroll along nearby Kloof Street, popping into boutiques and coffee shops, bars and restaurants en route to the Company Gardens and their neighbouring museums and historic buildings. Night owls will love Long Street, where venues host concerts and parties any day of the week. For nature lovers, there's hiking galore and trips to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and Cape Point.

Why we love it

The views. The restaurant terrace can claim sweeping panoramas of the city, mountain and the sea. We like!

Insiders Tip

The mountain-facing rooms are especially lovely and definitely worth the upgrade in our opinion.

Something to think about

The location is historic and quaint but the Cape Milner takes a decidedly modern twist and purists may object to the aesthetic's medley of inspirations.
