The Dorp Hotel

High on the slopes of Signal Hill, with unparalleled Table Mountain views, Dorp is a grand yet unpretentious place to stay.

The work of a creative maverick, with a fairytale country garden adding its otherworldly atmosphere, it is both haven and inspiration, and very unique.

Dorp’s location -discreetly perched above Bo-Kaap, high on the slopes of Signal Hill is truly magnificent. The city is dwarfed into significance by Table Mountain and its attendant Devils Peak.

Each dreamy bedroom and every enchanting suite is unique and individually decorated. Some boast private steam rooms, others have kitchens, bar counters, wide-vista terraces or secret courtyards.

You can dine alfresco in the fairytale gardens, and discreetly under a tree or enjoy a decadent dinner party in the Salon where the piano seems to love amid a jungle of greenery. The food is unfussy and delicious and in the evenings guests can sip G&T’s on the roof terrace that overlooks the entirety of Cape Town.
