The Hotel
Location: Cape Town, South Africa
Number of Rooms: 103
The PortsWood Hotel in scenic Cape Town offers a famously warm welcome. The hotel’s convenient yet quieter location appeals to many guests, who enjoy its proximity to the bustling V & A Waterfront but prefer to retreat to a more peaceful setting for their overnight stay. Rooms feature crisp, contemporary decor with a maritime theme, and all the standard amenities. Renovated from part of the old Breakwater Prison into a beautifully appointed restaurant, the Quarterdeck offers fine dining in the Cape Malay tradition. Influenced by Indian cuisine, Cape Malay dishes are aromatic and spicy and feature dishes such as samosas, curries and rotis passed down from generation to generation. For a quiet place to relax over a lighter meal, choose the Terrace. Travelers in need of relaxation and rejuvenation may take advantage of the spa and wellness center that adjoins the hotel.
