5-star hotels in Green Point
Five-star stays in Green Point, the flat Atlantic-side shelf between Signal Hill and the sea, with the stadium, the park and the promenade all within walking distance. This shortlist is for travellers who want the top tier of the area's hotels, from boutiques to waterfront towers.
Staying in Green Point
Green Point is the sensible default for a Cape Town stay: flat, walkable and close to both the V&A Waterfront and the CBD, with the promenade three minutes away. At night the area stays alive, with runners under the lights and tables full along Main Road, and the stadium bowl lit when there is a match on. The historic gay nightlife strip on Somerset Road and the calmer Cape Quarter are both within reach.
The hotels on this list sit on Vesperdene Road, Dysart Road, Beach Road at Granger Bay, Braemar Road, Main Road and the V&A Residential Marina. That spread puts them between the promenade and the Waterfront, so couples, families and business travellers can all walk to dinner, the park or the stadium. Short-break visitors get the most from the grid between Main Road, Three Anchor Bay Road and Glengariff Road, where these addresses cluster.
