5-star boutique hotel in Cape Town City Bowl with private elevator access to each suite

Suites

Labotessa Luxury Boutique Hotel has 6 Signature Suites and 1 Presidential Suite. Each suite is accessed by a private elevator that opens directly into the room. The Presidential Suite is a double-storey penthouse with 3 ensuite bedrooms, two lounges, two terraces, a fully-equipped kitchen, and a private splash pool with city and mountain views.

Dining

The on-site Café & Terrace serves local and international cuisine in an outdoor setting surrounded by greenery. Breakfast is included in the stay and can be served in the room until late afternoon. The café also offers a wine and champagne selection and operates as a coffee house on site.

Location

The hotel is located in the City Bowl district, within 2 km of the CTICC and less than 4 km from the V&A Waterfront. Table Mountain Cableway is 6 km away, and Cape Town International Airport is 19 km from the property. Historic Church Square is directly adjacent to the hotel, providing a quiet cobbled square setting.

Services & Amenities

The hotel offers a dedicated Diptyque Paris fragrance boutique on site, the only one in Cape Town with direct entrance from the street. Each suite includes complimentary Diptyque toiletries, a complimentary refreshment station with a Nespresso coffee machine, and a yoga mat. Additional services include valet parking on Church Square, 24-hour concierge, and airport shuttle.

Historical Architecture

The hotel is housed in a meticulously renovated 17th-century building that was the former home of a governor. The design blends historical architecture with contemporary interiors, with only two suites per floor for privacy. The property is surrounded by historical monuments and museums in the City Bowl.

Highlights

Rooms: 7 suites with private elevator access

Dining: Café & Terrace with breakfast included

Location: City Bowl, 2 km from CTICC

Amenities: Diptyque fragrance boutique on-site

Services: Valet parking, 24-hour concierge

Unique: 17th-century governor's residence

“This boutique property distinguishes itself with a compelling blend of historical architecture and contemporary aesthetics, especially its unique access to a fragrance boutique, which I find remarkable. The emphasis on personalized service and uniquely designed suites elevates the experience, while its location in the city center allows a more authentic experience, away from the touristy waterfront. I believe its Parisian or Amsterdam feel, transplanted to Cape Town, makes it a standout destination.”
