One Kensington Boutique Hotel has been welcoming guests for decades.

Among the first of Cape Town’s Guest Houses, our landmark villa dates back to 1903 and forms part of Cape Town's rich heritage. The property oozes yesteryear’s charm with double-volume ceilings, sweeping staircases, lush landscaped gardens and terraces, an inviting pool area with magnificent views, several elegantly furnished seating and dining areas as well as a brand new contemporary hotel bar.

After an extensive refurbishment and rebranding in 2023, One Kensington Boutique Hotel is brimming with contemporary elegance and offers guests superior comfort and luxury.
