Once you arrive at the Winchester Mansions Hotel, you most probably will not want to leave. The views are glorious, the style gracious, and the pace of life nice and slow. The hotel looks out across the Atlantic Ocean, and frankly, who would want to go anywhere else when you can have a glass of fine Cape wine in your hand and a fiery red sunset right in front of you?
Winchester Mansions was constructed in the mid-1920s in the style of renowned architect Sir Herbert Baker. Its original Cape Dutch buildings are elegant and genteel. Take your pick from a variety of suites set across three levels, each one featuring specially chosen furniture reflecting a different historical period. You can stay in a contemporary loft-style apartment or a more traditional colonial-style suite. The Robben Island Suite has a double bedroom with a guest room and generous lounge area that looks out across the infamous gaol, where the South African apartheid regime locked away its political prisoners.
