There's no shortage of great hotels in Cape Town, but the Cape Cadogan is one of my favorite inner-city addresses, with some seriously stylish decor and private spaces, from the elegant bar and pool courtyard, to one of the best restaurants in Cape Town at Upper Union.
And now the Cape Cadogan has expanded its offering, with the opening of the Stable Suites.
There are 10 Stable Suites in the newly converted buildings located on King Street, a quaint lane that is one of the last remaining cobbled streets in the area.
Stables Suites are the most spacious accommodation category at the Cape Cadogan, featuring generous living areas with interleading, triple, and two-bedroom options that are a great option for multi-generational families and business travelers. And while the Cape Cadogan is usually off-limits to younger travelers, the Stable Suites mean that families can enjoy the hotel for the first time.
"This development represents more than just new rooms – it's about creating environments where multiple generations can share meaningful experiences while still maintaining their own sense of space," says Robert More, CEO and custodian of MORE Family Collection, which owns Cape Cadogan.
Young guests at the Stable Suites will find activity boxes suited to their age waiting on arrival, along with beach kits ready for family outings.
A curated 'Out and About' list is offered to help families explore child-friendly activities around Cape Town, while Upper Union Restaurant now offers child-friendly breakfast and lunch options. Nice.
Each suite includes a separate lounge and bar area, with select suites offering private courtyards or Juliet balconies. Naming them the “Stable Suites” pays homage to the property's history, built on land first granted in 1822 that later became home to coach houses and stables.
The evolution has also added two new gathering spaces: the Botanical Conservatory is a riot of orchids and greenery, while the Cadogan Bar serves curated wines, signature cocktails and light fare. A partnership with Everard Read, Africa's oldest art gallery, brings rotating collections of contemporary South African artworks throughout the property.
