A Luxurious Escape at Palm House Boutique Hotel & Spa
In the embrace of a historic 1920s mansion, crafted by one of Herbert Baker’s proteges, Palm House Boutique Hotel & Spa emerged unscathed from the brink of an abrupt transformation into residential cluster houses, all thanks to the unwavering support of its loyal neighbours. Surrounded by lush, tropical-style gardens, the hotel beckons guests into an enchanting escape where the threads of history are effortlessly interwoven with modern luxury. The expansive property boasts panoramic views of legendary landmarks like the Twelve Apostles and Table Mountain, offering a breath-taking backdrop.
The hotel’s main house features ten large, contemporary-designed suites, each a testament to exquisite taste and attention to detail. The opulent presidential suite, fit for royalty, beckons guests with its regal allure. For those seeking a more intimate retreat, a three-bed pool-side cottage and four additional garden cottages offer tranquillity amidst the expansive grounds.
The sheer size of the property also makes it the ideal venue for weddings and events, with rolling lawns providing a canvas for memorable moments. The attentive and well-trained staff contribute to the hotel’s allure, ensuring guests are enveloped in warmth and hospitality from the moment they arrive.
Two culinary havens – both overseen by the renowned Chef Gerard van Staden – elevate the gastronomic experience. De Tafel, a fine-dining restaurant, mesmerises with carefully crafted displays of culinary excellence that redefine the art of gourmet dining. Meanwhile, La Carte restaurant – the main dining venue – serves breakfast, lunch and dinner on a serene patio overlooking the manicured gardens.
Beyond the epicurean delights, the hotel boasts a massive swimming pool, a well-equipped gym and a 5-star spa and wellness centre. The spa, which is a haven of tranquillity, celebrates the beauty of wellness through bespoke treatments crafted by internationally qualified therapists. Utilising premium natural products from the esteemed holistic wellness brand, Healing Earth, the spa harnesses Africa’s rich natural resources to nurture both body and soul. The dedicated sauna and hot-tub area stands out as one-of-a-kind, adding a touch of adorable uniqueness to the overall experience.
Palm House Boutique Hotel & Spa transcends the ordinary, inviting guests into a realm where luxury, history and natural beauty converge to create an unforgettable stay.
