Cape Town welcomes the exceptional as Radisson Collection makes its South African debut - Get updated on what's happening in tourism!

Poised on Cape Town’s iconic Atlantic coastline, the meticulously refurbished hotel embodies a harmonious blend of modern sophistication, local heritage, and the tranquil energy of its breathtaking surroundings.

DESIGN REFLECTS NATURAL SURROUNDINGS

The hotel’s design takes inspiration from the dramatic meeting of land and sea, capturing the powerful yet calming essence of the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged beauty of Table Mountain. Natural materials like timber, brass, and stone echo South Africa's raw yet refined landscapes. A color palette of oceanic blues, sandy neutrals, and earthy tones complements intricate patterns, that nod to the region’s Kaapse Fynbos, vibrant fauna, and renowned Winelands.

African craftsmanship is woven seamlessly into the interiors, with locally sourced materials and bespoke art installations reflecting Cape Town's rich cultural tapestry. A dedicated bespoke art gallery features curated pieces showcasing local fashion and architecture, adding a contemporary yet authentic touch to the hotel's elegant public spaces.
