Cape Town in a Nutshell

Dubbed as one of the best hotels in Africa, it is easy to understand why The Silo has been collecting fans from all over the world. This luxurious property, already an architectural landmark in Cape Town, exhilarates guests with 360-degree views over the city, allowing to simultaneously enjoy sights of Table Mountain, Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, Table Bay and Robben Island. Inside, the feeling of amazement isn't much different: from the hotel's well-appointed rooms, and through the most stunning windows one can imagine, patrons also experience 180-degree views. Truth to be told, Cape Town has been blessed with exceptional hotels but it is hard not to single out The Silo as the ultimate luxurious retreat in the city.

No visit to Cape Town is ever complete without exploring the stunning surrounding Winelands. For this, head to Franschhoek and lodge yourself at the palatial La Residence. This singular property, superbly decorated by Liz Biden and Ralph Krall, offers the most dazzling mountain views from its luxurious and elegant eleven suites. As expected, staying at La Residence is also a synonym of enjoying great food, exceptional wines and relaxing moments.

A little under 4 hours away from Cape Town, one of South Africa's most exclusive lodges is to be found: the remote Bushmans Kloof. Attracting discerning travellers from all around the world, this truly unique place is a dream come true for all of those looking for a spiritual retreat, connect with nature and admire the plentiful of rock art sites.
