The Silo Hotel

The Tree House Boutique Hotel

Located in Green Point, this unique and charming accommodation is known for its whimsical and romantic design, featuring an enchanting collection of treehouse-style rooms and suites. The hotel’s treehouse rooms are elevated above the lush garden, creating a sense of privacy and seclusion that’s hard to find in a city hotel.

“Each treehouse is designed to be a romantic and cozy retreat, with plush furnishings, comfortable beds, and large windows that allow plenty of natural light to filter in. The treehouses are decorated with a blend of contemporary and rustic decor, and each one has its own unique character and charm.”

The Daddy Long Legs Art Hotel

Located in the heart of the Mother city, this quirky and creative boutique hotel features individually decorated rooms by different artists and designers. Each of the hotel’s 13 rooms is completely unique, with its own theme, decor, and artwork.

“Every room has its own character and style, and guests are sure to find one that speaks to their taste. The Daddy Long Legs Art Hotel also has a communal lounge and bar area, which is decorated with a mix of vintage and contemporary furniture, as well as a range of artworks and installations.”
