For Capetonians, the ultimate escape doesn’t mean going far — it’s about seeing the city through new eyes. The Rockefeller Hotel by Newmark Hotels & Reserves invites you to check-in to the city, where this lifestyle hotel blends luxury with creative culture, creating the perfect setting for an indulgent staycation.
Step inside and you’ll discover bold design, curated art, and buzzing energy — a vibrant reflection of Cape Town itself. The hotel’s rooms and suites are designed for comfort and style, making it easy to switch off from routine while enjoying a space that feels distinctly urban and cosmopolitan.
The trendy Rockefeller Plaza is the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant. The Sushi Bar brings one of the hotel’s most popular Sunday rituals: All You Can Eat Sushi from 12 pm to 5 pm for just R240 per person. Mondays to Thursdays, the mood shifts to pizza lovers with a Buy 1 Get 1 Free Pizza special between 5 pm and 7 pm. Each pizza is hand-stretched, wood-fired, and finished with that irresistible smoky char. Add a visit to the cocktail bar, where curated drinks flow late into the evening, and you’ll quickly see why The Rockefeller is as much about lifestyle as it is about luxury. With room service available daily from 6:30 am to 10 pm, every craving is easily catered to — whether you’re staying in or heading out to explore the city.
For many locals, the highlight is the rooftop bar and pool. Overlooking the skyline, it’s where cocktails, sunshine, and good company meet. Spend an afternoon lounging poolside or gather with friends before heading out for a night in the city — then return to your suite just floors away.
Location makes The Rockefeller an unbeatable staycation choice. Positioned moments from the V&A Waterfront, galleries, and creative hotspots, the hotel places you right at the centre of Cape Town’s cultural and social pulse. It’s the perfect excuse to play tourist at home, exploring the city’s most-loved attractions and hidden gems with the ease of knowing your base is just around the corner.
The Rockefeller isn’t only about where you go, but how you live while you’re here. Indulge in breakfast in bed, enjoy a long afternoon swim, or let the energy of the city inspire evenings filled with flavour and fun. It’s a chance to step out of the everyday and into something extraordinary — without ever leaving Cape Town.
When the city feels this good, why go anywhere else? You’re already Exactly Where You Need To Be at The Rockefeller Hotel.
