A Cape Town city break can mean something different for everyone.

For some, it's a weekend of restaurants, shopping and nightlife. For others, it's about visiting the V&A Waterfront, exploring Table Mountain and experiencing the city's culture and history.

The key is choosing accommodation that puts you close to the experiences you came for.

If you're planning a Cape Town city break and looking for a boutique hotel near the V&A Waterfront and the city's top attractions, Old Foundry Hotel offers a convenient base in the De Waterkant area.

Stay Close to Cape Town's Top Attractions

Location can completely change your Cape Town experience.

Old Foundry Hotel's central position makes it a useful base for visitors wanting to explore the city, including the nearby V&A Waterfront, Cape Town CBD, restaurants and other major attractions.

Guests can spend their days exploring:

  • The V&A Waterfront
  • Table Mountain
  • Bo-Kaap
  • Green Point
  • The Atlantic Seaboard
  • Local markets
  • Museums and cultural attractions
  • Cape Town's restaurants and nightlife

Instead of spending your holiday travelling long distances between attractions, you can stay close to the centre of the action.

Start Your Day at the V&A Waterfront

The V&A Waterfront is one of Cape Town's best-known visitor destinations.

Whether you're interested in restaurants, shopping, harbour views or simply walking around and taking in the atmosphere, it is an easy addition to any Cape Town itinerary.

Staying in the wider De Waterkant and Green Point area also makes it easier to combine a visit to the Waterfront with other experiences around the city.

Explore More Than Just the Tourist Attractions

Cape Town is at its best when you give yourself time to explore.

Spend the morning visiting an attraction, stop for lunch in the city, explore a different neighbourhood and head out for dinner in the evening.

A city break can include everything from mountain views and beaches to art, history and food.

That variety is one of the reasons Cape Town works so well for both local staycations and international holidays.
