Labotessa Luxury Boutique Hotel in 8000, open January–October.
Labotessa Luxury Boutique Hotel occupies a restored Victorian building on Church Square in Cape Town's city centre, offering views across the historic precinct toward Table Mountain.
The 4-storey property features period architecture and contemporary interiors, positioning guests within walking distance of the Company's Garden and the Cathedral.
This intimate hotel combines 11 individually designed suites with on-site dining and event spaces suited to curated celebrations.
Exceptionally friendly and attentive staff who truly go above and beyond. The rooms are spacious, modern, and thoughtfully equipped with high-end touches like Diptyque bathroom amenities, a complimentary minibar, coffee facilities, and convenient parking garage. One standout feature is their breakfast, served until 4 PM (!) and included in the stay — an incredible idea that makes for a wonderfully relaxed experience. Unfortunately, we didn’t get the chance to try it, but the menu sounded fantastic. Overall, a flawless stay with genuine five-star service — in fact, better than many large luxury hotels. The only small area for improvement would be the bathroom layout: it’s quite compact and located right next to the bed. A bit more space and a proper door would make the room absolutely perfect.
