4- and 5-star hotels in Claremont
A shortlist of the 4- and 5-star hotels in Claremont, Cape Town, for travellers who want the southern suburbs rather than the city bowl or the Atlantic seaboard: couples on a quiet break, families between school visits, and anyone here for Newlands cricket or Kirstenbosch.
Staying in Claremont
Claremont is the commercial centre of Cape Town's southern suburbs: malls on Dreyer Street, offices, cricket at Newlands, oak-lined streets and quick access to Kirstenbosch. The suburb splits sharply along Main Road. Above it, toward the mountain, upper Claremont is oaks, high walls and quiet streets that climb toward Rhodes Drive. Below it, around the station and the bus and taxi interchange behind Cavendish, is one of the busiest transport nodes in the metro — thousands of commuters an hour at 17:00, street traders, noise and a hard edge after dark.
The hotels on this shortlist sit in the quieter half and just beyond it: on Grace Road, Ripelby Road, Torquay Avenue and Washington Road in Claremont, and along Wilderness Road at The Quadrant. Upper Claremont suits couples and families who want gardens, pools and parking behind a boom, while the Grace Road and Quadrant addresses keep shops, cinemas and the station within a fifteen-minute walk for shorter stays and business trips.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
From Cape Town International an e-hail to Claremont runs about R260 to R350 and takes 20 to 30 minutes via the N2 and M5. Claremont station, behind Cavendish, is a stop on the Metrorail Southern Line into Cape Town station — around 20 minutes and a fare in the low tens of rand when running, though reliability has been patchy for years. Behind the station is the main bus and taxi interchange, from which Golden Arrow buses and minibuses fan out across the southern suburbs and the Cape Flats. Driving, the M3 at Newlands puts you in the CBD in 20 minutes off-peak.
When to go
Late November to early April brings the Sunday sunset concerts on the Kirstenbosch lawns, the best-value live music in the city, with entry to the garden around R100 for South African adults. Summer days are long and the mountain walks are at their best; the Newlands Forest trails off the M3 near Boundary Road are coolest and safest between 07:00 and 10:00 and busiest with dog walkers at weekends. Newlands cricket draws its own crowds in the summer months, and the upper streets stay quiet year-round.
