The Alphen Boutique Hotel & Spa

About this hotel

The garden setting sets the tone from arrival: air-conditioned rooms open onto landscaped grounds, each fitted with a flat-screen TV, satellite channels, an iPod docking station and an Illy coffee machine, with a double-basin bathroom stocked in luxury toiletries. The spa and outdoor pool anchor the day, the sun-lounger terrace extending the afternoon well past lunch. Cape Town's city centre and False Bay both sit thirty minutes away by car, close enough for a day trip without making the hotel feel like a suburb. An airport shuttle can be arranged on request for the same thirty-minute run. It reads as a slower-paced base for travellers happy to trade a central address for garden quiet and dedicated spa time.
