Eight rooms on the slopes of Table Mountain in the upmarket Higgovale neighborhood — Kensington Place is one of Cape Town's most intimate and personally run properties, with mountain views from the pool terrace and easy access to both the city bowl and Camps Bay. The full-time private chef and concierge make it feel closer to a private house than a hotel. A favorite among return visitors who know Cape Town well and want quiet and character over amenities.
