A New York Vibe with a Cape Town Twist at The Rockefeller Hotel

Rockefeller Hotel indoor pool area

During a recent stay at The Rockefeller Hotel in Cape Town, we couldn’t help but feel transported to the bustling city of Manhattan. The hotel’s artistic flair and celebrity ambiance make it a standout spot in the Mother City, filled with creative spaces.

Nestled next to Cape Town’s media hub and a stone’s throw from the Artscape Theatre Complex, it’s perfectly placed for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the local creative scene. It’s no wonder this hotel is the venue of choice for the annual Loerie Awards and other vibrant events like Pride Week and hosting a slew of DJs and musicians.

The perfect blend of comfort and convenience

Rockefeller Hotel Suite

The Rockefeller is more than just a hotel; it’s an aparthotel, offering the best of both worlds. Each suite is designed with long stays in mind, featuring a small kitchenette. While it doesn’t have full kitchen facilities, various thoughtful touches make it feel like a home away from home, perfect for extended visits.

Prime location for business and leisure

Situated in the Foreshore area, The Rockefeller is ideal for both business and leisure travellers. The 24-hour concierge service, a world-class fitness centre and indoor rooftop swimming pool with a retractable roof add to the convenience and luxury of the stay.

Winter Dining Spots in Cape Town

Cape Town is known for its rainy winters, calling for crackling fires, hearty meals and warm conversation.

Versatile event spaces

The Rockefeller’s event spaces are a masterclass in versatility, equipped with comprehensive amenities to cater to a variety of functions. A standout feature is the rooftop swimming pool, which can be magically transformed into a dance floor with a wooden deck, offering a breathtaking setting to dance the night away while soaking in the stunning views of Cape Town’s harbour. Adjacent to this is a striking, contemporary cocktail bar, designed by the award-winning interior architect Tristan du Plessis (read our interview with Tristan in the Winter 2024 issue), and it’s the perfect spot to unwind – dry Martini in hand – after a day of city sightseeing or intense corporate meetings. The hotel’s full-day conference packages, starting at R595 per person, are a steal and the unique sushi-making team-building experience adds a fun, engaging twist that’s sure to unite the whole squad.

Dining at the Rockefeller Plaza

Dining at The Rockefeller’s restaurant is a real treat. With its contemporary and stylish ambiance, the restaurant serves everything from wood-fired pizzas to delicious burgers. The breakfast buffet is a highlight, and their special events are not to be missed. The all-you-can-eat sushi on Sundays, from 12:00 to 17:00, is a must at a mere R225 per person. And, for a touch of elegance, the bottomless bubbly brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 to 12:00, also for R225 per person, is a great way to unwind with the girls. The sushi, in particular, is a standout – fresh, Asian-fusion inspired and generously portioned.

The Rockefeller Hotel Cape Town offers more than just a place to stay. It provides a unique and stylish experience, blending comfort with convenience. Whether in town for business, leisure or an event, this hotel ticks all the
