“Personalized luxury”
From the moment we stepped out of the car upon our arrival, the staff treated us like family. They gave us a warm welcome. They showed us around our rooms which were so large and cool to enter right from the elevator! So many personalized touches throughout out the room. Honestly, the best hotel experience we’ve ever had. The attention to detail was such a great spoil. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. In fact, we brag to everyone about our stay, in hopes they'll treat themselves or tell their family/friends to go.

“An exceptional hotel that remains the ultimate spoil, one stay is simply not enough. Thank you to the lovely team for al”
Labotessa is a rare gem in Cape Town that instantly transports one to an European stay with a level that many top Cape town hotels can’t achieve. Beautiful garden and interior, every single detail looked after, so clean and well maintained and every single team member so friendly and helpful. The tiny touches like a hand written welcome card, complimentary wine/cheese/predrinks, the Diptyque hotel mini’s and not even to mention the stunning Diptyque boutique.

The hospitality stood out from the moment I arrived, with a warm and attentive team always available to support with any request.

“A perfect landing pad, would love to stay longer next time”
Firstly the staff are superb. Professional, experienced, and eager to assist with a personal and personable approach. Nice, caring human beings. Warm yet not overstated furnishings. Spacious room. Very well thought out design with a place for everything, and many amenities cleverly concealed out of view so your every desire is on hand, and you can admire the beautiful room and wider property without intrusion of function. Impeccably clean and in perfect condition. Tasty and healthy complimentary snacks and beverages in the room. Central for a taste of Cape Town and quick access to all the sites. Great breakfast available throughout the day.
