Hotel · Bantry Bay, Cape Town

Ellerman House in Bantry Bay is the most intimate luxury hotel in Cape Town — an 11-room property in a restored Edwardian mansion, with the finest private art collection in Africa (including works by Irma Stern and William Kentridge) and views of the Atlantic that are the most beautiful in the city. The hotel's wine cellar, with 7,000 bottles, is the finest in South Africa. The spa, with its outdoor pool overlooking the sea, is the most atmospheric in Cape Town.
