Radisson RED Cape Town

At this bolder-than-life hotel, every guest space incorporates intriguing art and design. Mingle with world travellers and Cape Town residents on the rooftop terrace and cool off at the lap pool, or enjoy the events and games studio, where you can have a business meeting, or de-stress after a long day. Grab a brew and meal at the OUIBar + KTCHN and taste the city's revolutionary street food-style offerings. Wherever you spend your time, coffee is just a click away.

Rooms at the Radisson RED are striking and unique by default. Don't expect the industry-standard fittings and trimmings found in modern hotels the world over; instead, anticipate gutsy rooms that pop with flashes of red, and imaginative decor. Book a standard studio, a studio family suite or a studio suite, depending on your needs. All rooms offer up-to-date amenities such as big-screen TVs and sound bars, and multi-functional furniture; the studio suite has its own balcony. You won't be disappointed.

Investigate the well-equipped events and games studio, then enjoy a meal at the in-house eatery. Sundowners on the rooftop are a must, as is a dip in the pool when summer temperatures soar. Shop till you're retailed-out at the V&A Waterfront or head across the road to the dramatic Zeitz MOCAA. Cape Town's bustling CBD is abuzz with fantastic bars, restaurants and cafes. Take in the sights on a cable-car trip up Table Mountain, or a tour of the famous Winelands.
