Camissa House

Framed by the iconic Table Mountain, Camissa House is a mountainside hideaway that combines an eclectic mix of intimate luxury and inspired design.

Camissa, a name given to this area of Cape Town by its first inhabitants, the Khoi people, means “Place of Sweet Water.” It is this life-giving stream, flowing directly past the hotel, which prompted the Dutch to settle here, thus giving birth to the city of Cape Town as we know it today.

Located in the beautiful suburb of Oranjezicht, this leafy suburb is well known for its serenity and is close to all of the city’s most famous attractions, from the V&A Waterfront to Camps Bay and the white sand beaches of Clifton.

The hotel has 3 terrace rooms and 5 luxury rooms, plus a rooftop bar and entertainment area, as well as an infinity pool with views of the city and harbour.

In addition to the 24 hour butler service, guests can enjoy in-house (or in-room) dining or take a complimentary town car to one of the city’s myriad award-winning restaurants and cafés.

With its uninterrupted views of the city below, a more spectacular location for a luxury hotel quite simply doesn’t exist.
