Hotels in De Waterkant, Cape Town
De Waterkant is Cape Town's LGBTQ+-friendly neighbourhood and the city's most sociable small district — a cluster of Victorian cottages on the slope between the CBD and the V&A Waterfront, converted into boutique hotels, restaurants and the Cape Quarter lifestyle centre. Quiet by day, lively in the evening, and very well-placed: the Waterfront is a 10-minute walk; the CBD is behind; Table Mountain is above. For a Cape Town base with a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere, small-scale hotel options and good food within a manageable radius, De Waterkant is the most characterful neighbourhood for the very centre of the city.
135 hotels within walking distance of De Waterkant, in the heart of Cape Town, including 90 properties rated 4 stars or higher. The closest is The Carrington Aparthotel by Totalstay, about 78m from the centre of the neighbourhood.
