3-star hotels in Green Point
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Green Point, the flat Atlantic-side shelf between the stadium, the park and the promenade. It is for couples, families and business travellers who want to walk to the Waterfront, the CBD and the sea path without paying Waterfront rates.
Staying in Green Point
Green Point sits between Signal Hill and the Atlantic, wedged between the harbour and Sea Point, and it is the default sensible answer to where to stay in Cape Town. You can walk to the V and A Waterfront in about fifteen minutes along Beach Road, into the CBD in twenty via Somerset Road, and onto the promenade in three. At 9pm this is one of the few genuinely alive, genuinely walkable pieces of the city: runners on the promenade, tables full on Main Road, the stadium bowl lit up on match nights.
The hotels on this list cluster on the Beach Road and Mouille Point edge and along the Thornhill Road, Glenside Road, Cavalcade Road and Main Road blocks behind it. That puts most of them three minutes from the sea path, with the stadium, the Green Point Urban Park and De Waterkant all within a short walk. It suits couples on a short break, families who want playgrounds and a pool, and business travellers who would rather walk into town than drive.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Green Point is the flat shelf between Signal Hill and the Atlantic. The paved seafront path runs from the Mouille Point lighthouse on Beach Road all the way to Bantry Bay, about three kilometres one way, free and floodlit, and busiest between 6pm and 8pm in summer. The V and A Waterfront is about fifteen minutes on foot along Beach Road, and the CBD about twenty via Somerset Road. Shuttle services run from several hotels on this list, including Protea Hotel Cape Castle Cape Town, La Splendida Hotel By Newmark, Port View House, Dolphin Inn Guest House and Brenwin Guest House.
When to go
Summer evenings are when Green Point works hardest: the promenade is packed between 6pm and 8pm, the stadium bowl lights up on match nights and the tables on Main Road stay full. The long-running Sunday market on the Green Point Common beside the stadium runs from about 9am to 3pm. Winter is quieter and wetter, which suits walkers who want the sea path to themselves. The outdoor gym and the Sea Point pavilion pool at the far end of the promenade are at their best in the warmer months.
