The Glen Boutique Hotel & Spa
Sea Point pool dining with a Swedish sauna and hot tub spa
About this hotel
Sea Point sets the location, and the property answers with a pool built for lingering: sun loungers surround the water, and dinner can be taken at the poolside terrace overlooking it or inside at the restaurant, whichever the evening calls for. Rooms carry modern furniture and a satellite TV, with double-volume showers in every bathroom and some categories adding a balcony with mountain or Atlantic Ocean views. The spa runs a full circuit, a steam room, traditional Swedish sauna and hot tub, alongside massage treatments, giving the property genuine wellness credentials beyond the pool. A breakfast buffet with a warm à la carte option starts the day, and free private parking removes the usual Sea Point parking search.

- Sea Point location
- Free private parking
Our take
This suits travellers who want poolside dining and a full spa circuit in Sea Point rather than a compact room-only stay. The double-volume showers and mountain-view categories reward booking the higher room tier. Anyone chasing beachfront-only access on foot should book closer to Camps Bay instead. Couples wanting a genuine spa afternoon paired with poolside dinner rather than a room-only stay will get the most value from the property.
- Book dinner at the poolside terrace over the restaurant at least once, the setting is the stronger draw
- Ask for a mountain or ocean-view balcony room specifically at booking
- Use the Swedish sauna before the hot tub in the spa circuit, the order works better for most guests
Why we love it
- Poolside terrace dining
- A steam room, sauna and hot tub spa circuit
- Double-volume shower bathrooms
- Mountain or Atlantic Ocean-view balconies
