Cape Heritage Hotel Review

A seventeen-room boutique hotel at 90 Bree Street, in the eighteenth-century Heritage Square.

Best for

A first trip built around the museums and the city itselfTravellers without a carAnyone arriving on the airport bus, which stops nearby

Why it stands out

The square. Heritage Square is one of the oldest surviving city blocks in South Africa, and the hotel is inside it rather than facing it.

Main trade-off

The CBD empties after office hours and on Sundays. The area scores 4.5 for quietness by day and reads very differently at nine in the evening.

Why we recommend it

Best for walking the city

Our pick for the centre because it stands on Bree Street in Heritage Square, which puts the restaurant strip, the museums and Bo-Kaap's slope within the only genuinely walkable part of Cape Town.
