Hotels in Bo-Kaap, Cape Town

Bo-Kaap is Cape Town's most photographed neighbourhood and remains entirely earned — the hillside above the CBD where Cape Malay Muslims settled in the 18th century, now the most colourful streetscape in South Africa: cobblestoned lanes of pastel-painted houses rising from Wale Street, the smell of koesisters from doorways, the call to prayer from the mosque above. The Bo-Kaap Museum tells the Cape Malay story. Five minutes' walk from the Waterfront bus route; ten minutes from Greenmarket Square. For a Cape Town base with genuine cultural character and extraordinary visual impact within easy reach of everything, Bo-Kaap is the obvious and correct recommendation.
