Boutique hotel with 8 rooms on Church Square, one of the most confidential addresses in Cape Town.
Labotessa Luxury Boutique Hotel
From
637.246 €
“Rating 9.8/10 from 129 reviews, a rare score for a South African 5★.”
Labotessa Luxury Boutique Hotel occupies a historic building on Church Square, a stone's throw from Long Street and the waterfront. We tested one of the eight rooms: generous volumes, impeccable linen, white marble bathroom. The service is attentive without being intrusive, the breakfast served at the table changes every morning. The rooftop pool offers a clear view of Table Mountain and the harbour. From 637 € per night, it is one of the most expensive addresses in Cape Town, but the 9.8/10 rating on Booking is justified by the attention to detail and the human scale. We recommend it for a stay where one prioritises calm and quality of execution ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend Labotessa to couples looking for an intimate address in Cape Town, far from the large chain hotels of the Waterfront. It is a choice for travellers demanding on service, ready to pay the price for a human scale and attention to detail. The eight rooms only make it an ideal address for honeymoons, birthdays, or stays where one wants to feel received rather than a client.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The building occupies a historic edifice on Church Square, one of the oldest squares in Cape Town. Colonial architecture rehabilitated with respect for the original volumes. Contemporary interiors: white marble, light woodwork, South African design furniture. Eight rooms spread over three levels, all different, with preserved ceiling heights.
