Frommer's
This award-winning boutique hotel has beautiful views of the city,
harbor, and mountain, and you feel surrounded by greenery...
Thoughtful touches include laptops, an "emergency box" stocked with
such necessities as condoms and headache pills, ready-to-go beach
kits, and a little gym-in-a-bag. The best rooms on the second floor
have balconies overlooking the city - ask for nos. 1, 2, or 3. Near
the pool, sultry room no. 7 is larger than most; no. 8 has a
private entrance, exquisite modern decor, and gorgeous views
through massive picture windows."
Lonely Planet
"Nestled discreetly in leafy Higgovale, Kensington Place is one of
Cape Town's ultimate boutique hotels. Both the rooms and public
spaces are designed with effortless flair... The lobby bar and
lounge here are enough to make you never want to leave the hotel -
the lounge boasts a wonderful beaten copper fireplace, perfect for
curling up next to when the winter winds howl off the mountain
outside... The walls throughout are hung with fine art photographs
and contemporary paintings, and lacquer vases of orchids and lilies
add an elegant Japanese touch. African notes are present too - look
out for coffee tables upholstered in spotted cowskin."
