Hand-Picked Hotel
The Winchester Hotel
The Winchester Hotel has become something of a Cape Town icon thanks, in part, to its fantastic location right on the seafront and close to the city. Charming and characterful, this three-storey gabled hotel evokes a bygone era. It’s the perfect place to get out and explore or sit back and make the most of the swimming pool, sundeck, and views over the ocean. Step into the hotel’s Shoreditch restaurant for a stylish setting and contemporary menu featuring cooking on flames. Dine indoors or eat under the flowering bougainvillea in the courtyard, perfect on a warm evening. If you’ve been out and about all day and fancy an afternoon aperitif or sundowner, Harvey’s bar is the place to head to. A favourite with locals, there’s a warm and sociable ambience complemented by sea views and plenty of space to enjoy relaxing. Spacious, loft-style Classic Rooms and Junior Suites invite you to enjoy your stay in stylish and comfortable surroundings. All rooms have lots of natural light as well as splashes of colour and vibrancy. It’s these little touches that have made The Winchester Hotel such a South African institution.
