Cloud 9 Boutique Hotel and Spa
Five heritage buildings, a 360-degree rooftop bar and plunge pools
About this hotel
Five heritage properties connect through a central reception and secluded courtyard here, a genuinely distinctive layout at the foot of Table Mountain in trendy Tamboerskloof, walking distance from Kloof and Long Streets' shops and restaurants. Rooms carry a Nespresso machine, an Ultra HD Smart TV with Netflix, air-conditioning and complimentary fibre WiFi, with rain-shower bathrooms and some categories adding a bath or Table Mountain views. The rooftop bar is the property's headline space, 360-degree views over the city and mountain, backed by three on-site restaurants and room service. The spa runs a sauna and three treatment rooms, and guests can cool off in the four-by-four-metre plunge pools on the sun deck. Camps Bay and Clifton Beaches both sit within a ten-minute drive.
- Rooftop bar, 360-degree views
- Five heritage buildings
- Plunge pools
- 10 minutes to Camps Bay and Clifton
Our take
This suits travellers wanting a genuinely distinctive multi-building heritage stay with a headline rooftop bar rather than a single-tower hotel format. The plunge pools suit a quick cool-off between Kloof Street outings better than a lap swim. Anyone wanting a single large pool complex should look elsewhere in the city.
- Book the rooftop bar for sunset specifically, the 360-degree view is the property's signature moment
- Request a Table Mountain-view room over the standard category if available
- Walk to Kloof and Long Streets for dinner variety beyond the three on-site restaurants
Why we love it
- A 360-degree rooftop bar over the city and mountain
- Five connected heritage properties
- Four-by-four-metre plunge pools
- Three on-site restaurants
Why guests love itCloud 9 Boutique Hotel & Spa links five heritage buildings at the foot of Table Mountain in Tamboerskloof, and the rooftop bar with 360-degree views is the place I would head at sunset. The plunge pools suit a quick cool-off rather than laps, and the spa has three treatment rooms. Three on-site restaurants keep dinner simple, and Camps Bay and Clifton beaches are about ten minutes away by car. With a 9.1 score from 932 reviews, I recommend it for a city-bowl stay.
