Sea Point – one of Time Out's World's Coolest Neighbourhoods in 2023 – is set for a sizzling hot summer. Between OKU’s planned revival of The Ritz, a boujee new apartment development in Dear Jean, and plenty of restaurant action at street level, the latest goss is that the newest addition to the Kove Collection will be open in time for summer.
The Cole is a five-star boutique hotel from the Kove Collection, which also runs The Marly in nearby Camps Bay, and is due to open in December 2025.
At The Cole expect 60 light-filled suites where widescreen Atlantic and mountain views take centre stage. There’s a rooftop restaurant and pool, a spa with sauna and cold plunge, and on-site retail with 24 curated brands on offer at Boutique Marly. It’s pitched as modern luxury with an easy seaside rhythm, set just steps from the ever-popular Sea Point prom and just a few minutes’ drive from the Waterfront.
“Designed for both the international traveller and the local connoisseur of luxury, this vibrant social hub will blend modern luxury with the distinctive character that defines every Kove Collection property,” says Paul Kovensky, Founder and Managing Director of Kove Collection.
Food and drink are also dialled up.
In the lobby, Script is set to be a showpiece cocktail bar built around “experiential mixology,” while Figo, the rooftop restaurant, leans into Mediterranean tradition and seasonal flavours. Think fresh semolina pasta, wood- and charcoal-fired dishes, and big-sky sunsets.
“Figo is a love letter to the coastal regions of the Mediterranean, translated through the natural beauty of Cape Town and particularly the Atlantic Seaboard,” says Kovensky. “The open kitchen, wood-fired oven, and fresh pasta station invite guests into the theatre of cooking, while panoramic views and the airy interior transport them to a Mediterranean state of mind.”
Whether you swing by for dinner or book a suite for the night, The Cole is certainly one of the most exciting new additions Sea Point has seen this year. We can’t wait to see it in the flesh!
