The historic and charming Winchester Mansions is a Cape Dutch-style hotel dating back to the 1920s. Offering stylishly elegant accommodation, a spectacular beachfront location and an emphasis on personalised service, you'll enjoy a superb choice of facilities, entertainment and dining here.
The outdoor courtyard of Harveys Restaurant – encircled by tropical palm trees, fragrant plants and cascading fountains – is a lovely spot for a romantic meal in the balmy evening air; this is also the venue for live music, with the very popular Sunday jazz brunches or high teas also being held here. Alternatively, head for the terrace and sip on sundowners as you gaze over the Atlantic Ocean and watch the sky turn from blue to shades of pink and orange.
Cool off and chill out at the outdoor pool; recline on a sun lounger, enjoy complimentary fruit skewers, sunscreen and daily newspapers or indulge in the cocktail and tapas menu; or perhaps you'd like to retreat to the Gingko Spa for a rejuvenation treatment.
Situated at the famous Sea Point Promenade – facing the Atlantic coastline and with the spectacular Table Mountain as a backdrop – the hotel is just a 20 minute stroll from the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront to which guests are offered a complimentary shuttle service.
Please call one of our Destination Specialists for more information on our full selection of hotels, or for inspiration and advice on creating a personalised itinerary.
