We booked Kensington Place for the first few days of our honeymoon after extensive research of various hotels in the area and we weren't disappointed. The hotel is stylish, sophisticated and oozes boutique-chic!! We arrived at 9am after an overnight flight from the UK. We were immediately greeted by the manager, who greeted us by our first names and offered... more

We ended off our trip to South Africa with two nights in Kensington Place. Beautiful location at the foot of Table Mountain, very trendy, but at the same time very comfortable. more

You are making a huge mistake if you choose not to stay here! My wife and I briefly visited some of the other highly recomended hotels in Cape Town for a fun comparison and really, there is NO comparison to the elite Kensington Place. The service is truly sensational with an exceptionally friendly "service first" attitude while doing everything and... more

Kensington place is a gem in the foothills of Table mountain. The rooms were lovely and the service fantastic.
