4- and 5-star hotels in Sea Point
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels in Sea Point, Cape Town, by the promenade and Main Road. It is for couples, families and business travellers who want walkable, unpretentious value on the Atlantic, and it names the best-rated pick and the closest to the centre.
Staying in Sea Point
Sea Point is a dense, walkable, unpretentious seaboard suburb with a three-kilometre promenade, a tidal pool and the best value on the Atlantic coast. Beach Road holds the view, Main Road and Regent Road handle shopping and eating, and Signal Hill rises behind. It is a mix of Jewish, Congolese, Nigerian, Portuguese and old-Cape-white residents, and at 6pm the promenade is where the real city passes. The water is the catch: this is the cold Atlantic side, 12 to 15 degrees in summer, with granite boulders and tidal pools rather than sand.
The hotels sit in Sea Point and neighbouring Green Point. The Glen Boutique Hotel & Spa, Atlantic Affair Boutique Hotel, The Hyde All Suite Hotel, Home Suite Hotels Sea Point, Planet Africa_Sea Point, The Winchester Hotel by NEWMARK, Protea Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Sea Point, Hotel on the Promenade and Bellazzure are on Sea Point addresses; Signalhill Villa, Romney Park All Suite Hotel and Spa, The One 8 Hotel in Green Point Solar Power, 16 Springbok Road, Springbok Road 28 and Villa on Ocean View are on Green Point or Ocean View Drive addresses. Couples get spa and jacuzzi options, families get family rooms and suite kitchens, and business travellers get business centres, free Wifi and parking.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Sea Point is walkable: two streets deep between Signal Hill and the Atlantic, with the promenade running the full three kilometres from Mouille Point lighthouse to the Pavilion, no cars and no bicycles in the busy stretch. Beach Road does the view, Main Road and Regent Road do the shopping and eating, and Mojo Market at 30 Regent Road is open from about 9am until late daily. Free parking is scarce on Beach Road itself, and several hotels list free car parking or a garage.
When to go
Go for the long summer evenings: in January the sun sets around 8.10pm. That is also when the shoreline is busiest, and bookings are needed from Thursday to Sunday in December and January. The Atlantic stays cold year round at 12 to 15 degrees in summer, so the Sea Point Pavilion saltwater pools, roughly 7am to 7pm in summer, are the practical swim. Morning is the calmest time on the promenade and in the Pavilion lanes before the crowds arrive.
