Labotessa Luxury Boutique Hotel

We stayed at Labotessa Luxury Boutique Hotel in Cape Town for my nephew’s wedding, and I can honestly say it was the best hotel experience we’ve ever had. My family travels often. We’ve been to the Caribbean, Europe, Hawaii, Brazil, Africa, and Asia, and have stayed in some truly beautiful places. But nothing compares to Labotessa. The service, the location, and the atmosphere were truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like family. We came from the U.S. with high expectations, and Labotessa exceeded every single one. Every team member we met was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive. They learned our names right away and made sure we had everything we needed without us even asking. Huge thanks to Martijn and Bridget for going the extra mile. The rooms were stunning. You get your own private elevator entrance, and everything inside was elegant, spacious, and comfortable. Whether we needed restaurant suggestions, help booking outings, or just a great conversation, the staff delivered every time. Their recommendations felt personal and thoughtful, and we never felt rushed or brushed off. The location is perfect. It’s right downtown near Parliament, walking distance to great restaurants, local shops, nail salons, and more. The beach was just a quick two-minute Uber ride away. And, Ubers arrived so quickly that we had to be downstairs before even calling one. Traveling to Africa was deeply meaningful to us as Africans and African Americans. Labotessa made the experience even more special. Our trip was filled with love, family, and joy, and staying here made it truly unforgettable. We’re already planning to return with more of our family. Labotessa felt like home. If you’re visiting Cape Town, do yourself a favor and stay here. You’ll be blown away.

The suite was beautiful, greeted with a bottle of wine and a heart warming note, I was already impressed. Attentive and friendly staff all through. The intimate setting of the hotel itself brings some quiet at night and the sound of the birds chirping will be your alarm clock. I loved that the little restaurant is surrounded by greenery and the little diptique display where you can purchase from perfumes to soap. Breakfast is served to the room and it’s served warm. The suites private elevator provides comfort and ease with luggage. Totally worth it.

First rate hotel in excellent central location in Cape Town. Staff throughout couldn't have been more helpful, both in pre-arrival communication, as well as while we were there. As others have said, lovely large rooms, well appointed, nice touches like free minibar and nibbles: all very comfortable indeed, and something of a calm and quiet oasis to return to from a day in lively Cape Town. Plus delicious breakfasts too. Highly recommend.
