Cape hotels shine in Elite Suites list
The Penthouse, The Silo Hotel
The Penthouse at The Silo Hotel crowns one of Cape Town's most iconic buildings, with panoramic views of Table Mountain, the city, and harbour through the hotel's signature geometric glass windows. A soaring double-volume living area is anchored by a striking chandelier and bold contemporary art, while deep sofas and richly textured finishes create an atmosphere of opulent indulgence. The one-bedroom suite includes a private cinema, a personal bar, a study, and an in-suite spa treatment room. Two balconies offer front-row seats to Cape Town's spectacular sunsets.
Presidential Suite, One&Only Cape Town
The Presidential Suite at One&Only Cape Town offers a truly elegant retreat, with sweeping views across the marina to Table Mountain. Enter through a sculptural doorway into a vast space defined by its floor-to-ceiling marble fireplace, which divides the spacious living and dining areas. Designed for effortless entertaining, the suite features a 10-seater dining table, private bar, curated collection of South African art, and plush ivory sofas. Two en-suite bedrooms offer king-sized beds, walk-in closets, and marble bathrooms, one with a steam shower. With a private gym, media room and easy access to the recently refurbished One&Only Spa, it's the perfect wellness bolthole in the heart of the Waterfront.
Villa One, Ellerman House
Set within the manicured grounds of Ellerman House, Villa One is an ocean-facing retreat perfect for families or groups seeking space, privacy, and five-star service. The villa's three en-suite bedrooms, generous living areas, and private infinity pool offer an easy blend of coastal luxe, with a personal chef on hand to tailor each meal. Villa One is set above the intimate Ellerman House Spa, which was recently revamped to include a Polar Plunge pool.
Owner's Villa, Delaire Graff Lodge
The Owner's Villa at Delaire Graff is an art-filled four-bedroom sanctuary set high above the Stellenbosch winelands. With sweeping views from its west-facing terrace, the villa is framed by vineyards, mountain peaks, and distant ocean horizons. A heated infinity pool – and jacuzzi – invites quiet reflection outdoors, while artworks from Laurence Graff's collection lend an intimate, gallery-like feel to the interior space. Here a generous living area and a private dining (with a dedicated chef, of course) make entertaining effortless. There's serenity in the setting, but the villa's private gym and easy access to the elegant Delaire Graff Spa ensure that The Owner's Villa sets itself apart when it comes to wellness.
