Gorgeous George + Harpers House Accommodation Special: Two of Cape Town’s Hottest Boutique Hotels
Stylish staycations.
By Kent Cloete • 27 August 2021
Eye-watering design is around every corner at these two boutique properties – hardly surprising given that one of them is a part of the Design Hotels stable, and the other is its sister property. Situated in the centre of town, off the bustling St George’s Mall precinct, Gorgeous George excites visitors with its superb design features, stylish furnishings and vibey sixth-floor rooftop bar and restaurant, Gigi.

Its sister guesthouse, Harpers House, is situated just off Green Point Main Road, in the sought-after Atlantic Seaboard. Although it’s quieter and more pared-back than its innercity counterpart, its welcoming atmosphere and tastefully plush decor and prime location, a short walk from the sparkling ocean give it a different kind of appeal.

About Gorgeous George




Housed in two thoughtfully renovated heritage buildings (combined into one), the hotel is decked out in pieces by some of the city’s hottest design talents (including Lucie de Moyencourt, David Krynauw and David Brits).
