Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel

A gracious boutique hotel in a restored National Monument just off Kloof Street, named Africa’s best city hotel for 2026.

Cape Town

Overview

Cape Cadogan is set in an early-1800s building on a quiet, leafy street in Gardens, one of Cape Town’s oldest neighbourhoods. The building was declared a National Monument in 1984. It feels like a stylish, well-connected local’s home: calm and personal, yet a short walk from the restaurants and shops of Kloof Street. Travel + Leisure readers named it Africa’s Best City Hotel in its 2026 World’s Best Awards. It’s part of the MORE Family Collection, which also owns Monwana Game Lodge.
