hotel · Sea Point

The Winchester Hotel Review

A 1920s Cape Dutch-style seafront hotel at 221 Beach Road, Sea Point.

Best for

Longer staysTravellers who want the sea without Camps Bay's ratesAnyone who walks every day

Why it stands out

Its age and its position. A 1920s building on the promenade is a different stay from the apartment blocks either side of it.

Main trade-off

Sea Point is for looking at the sea rather than swimming in it, and the city centre is a drive rather than a walk.

Why we recommend it

Best for the sea at a fair rate

Our pick for Sea Point because it faces the promenade at 221 Beach Road, which is the same Atlantic that Camps Bay charges four times as much for, with a full main road of restaurants behind it.
