Ellerman House - 5 Star Hotel

Ellerman House, one of our finest Cape Town hotels, is one of the most discreet hotels in Cape Town and it is little wonder celebrities such as Pavarotti have chosen to reside here in the past.

Once home to shipping magnate Sir John Ellerman, this elegant Sir Herbert Baker style mansion has been restored to its 20th century splendour. It provides sumptuous accommodation combined with every modern convenience.

Thick and heavy curtains, classic armchairs, antique fireplaces, South African art, books and lots of lots beautiful cushions all compliment the Historical architecture of Ellerman House.

The teak staircase that meanders up to the tasteful Regency drawing and living rooms is one that you won't resist climbing. Once you're on the verandas that flow off these rooms and with a little bit of help from the views that besiege you, we think you might just feel elated.

In the bar, raw Table Mountain granite blends with skilled stone masonry, leather and rich woods. The fully equipped Gym and Steam bath add to the comfort and convenience of Ellerman House. The stately library that consists of a collection of old, rare and new volumes, is there for you to browse at your own leisure.
