Kensington Place lived up to every glowing review we read before we booked it as part of our honeymoon trip to Africa. After our adventures on the banks of the Zambezi we were looking for something cool, hip and chic in Cape Town and Kensington Place did not let us down.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Kensington Place hotel in Cape Town. We arrived completely jet-lagged in the morning, and were greeted with friendly and helpful service, along with champagne. We were promptly taken to our room and had breakfast brought to us on our private terrace - the perfect way to start our trip in South Africa. The... more

We stayed at Kensington Place at the beginning of our road trip through the winelands and the garden route, and what a wonderful welcome to South Africa it was. The room was very chic and comfortable, and included some very nice touches such as the provision of an ipod speaker system and a laptop with wireless internet connection as well... more

We stayed at Kensington Place for three nights at the start of our honeymoon and cannot fault it. The beds were very comfy, great decor and we loved our terrace (where we had our breakfast every morning - highly recommend the muesli and eggs benedict!!). The staff were amazing and we felt that nothing was too much trouble for them.... more
