The Marly

About The Marly

A contemporary boutique hotel, just a stone's throw from the beach at Camps Bay.

The Marly is a new addition to Camps Bay’s luxury portfolio and is a five-star boutique hotel with eleven unique suites and an ultra-chic modern vibe. This sought-after part of Cape Town is within a few minutes’ drive from the centre of the city, and has a glorious location along palm-fringed beaches, with incredible sea views, set against the backdrop of Table Mountain’s Twelve Apostles. This contemporary retreat is perfectly positioned slightly back from the colourful beachfront promenade, with an excellent in-house restaurant, and a wide choice of fine dining venues, street cafes and lively night spots just a short stroll away.

Property details

The property

The ultra-modern entrance foyer sets the tone of the hotel, with its contemporary décor, sleek lines and calming grey and white palate. The fabulous “Umi” Japanese restaurant and chic cocktail bar have front row seats on the busy promenade, while the sheltered courtyard swimming pool and bar is a peaceful oasis away from the hustle and bustle. The hotel also has two day spas, a hair salon, an elegant lounge and well-stocked library.

The rooms

The eleven lavish suites each have a unique design, with elegant furnishings and décor in subtle charcoal greys and off-whites, and stunning artwork on the walls. The huge bathrooms, complete with rain showers and deep bath tubs, have mirrored panels, giving an extra sense of space and light. Mountain Suites face onto the slopes of the Twelve Apostles, while those along the front have beautiful ocean views (worth the extra pennies for sure!) The larger suites have private balconies with a jacuzzi and an outdoor shower.

Activities

The Marly is superbly positioned for strolling along the Promenade, and soaking up the sun on Camps Bay beach. The Table Mountain cableway is close by for an easy ride to the top, or you could hike the scenic trails for something more energetic. All the major city attractions – the V&A Waterfront, museums and art galleries, and fantastic markets – are within easy reach, with the scenic Southern Peninsula and famous Cape winelands offering great options for day trips.

Why we love it

The Marly’s location along the buzzing Camps Bay promenade puts you in the heart of the action, yet only a hop, skip and jump away from the world-famous beach. The rooftop swimming pool is pretty fabulous too!

Insiders Tip

The Marly has a parking garage under the hotel and parking is included for guests - a huge plus amid the war for parking spaces in summer!

Something to think about

There are a variety or room types, but all rooms are very distinctly either mountain facing or sea facing. Be sure to indicate which you prefer...
