The slick Rodwell House has Table Mountain and Atlantic Ocean for neighbors. Protected by walled gardens, it's a modern hotel with a slant on traditional style.
EXPERIENCE
Arriving at Rodwell House in the spirit of your vacation means losing your sun block and hand-held fan before you get to reception. That way, nobody will know you were expecting the scorching African temperatures of wildlife documentaries rather than the true Cape Town Mediterranean climate.
You'll get over a few more stereotypes before you're done at Rodwell House. For example, South African wildlife isn't restricted to the safari; catch a whale watching tour, or lie in wait for some unusual bird watching on the Zandvlei Lake.
The muted tones of the hotel's modern suites enhance the spectacular mountain and sea views while minimalistic furnishings act as a balance to the dramatic landscapes. Find 20th Century artworks from local masters in the lounge and reception areas.
For the health conscious types, the hotel's trainer provides a personalized exercise regime in the 540 sq. ft. gym.
