What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Sophisticated beachside digs in the ultra-trendy Camps Bay suburb of Cape Town. It's part South Beach, part Saint-Tropez, and a whole lot of sexy.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set right on the Camps Bay promenade, the Atlantic shoreline sits out front with the Twelve Apostles rising directly behind.
The rooms
Spacious suites open to furnished balconies facing either mountain peaks or the sea, appointed with deep soaking tubs and Marshall speakers.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Submerged loungers sit directly in the rooftop pool, looking out across Camps Bay beach toward Lion's Head.
The spa
Guests can tailor the lighting and sound in four private treatment rooms, or visit the marble nail lounge.
At the table
Beachfront terraces along the promenade serve fresh seafood and cocktails looking straight out across the Atlantic surf.
How it began
Named after Louis XIV’s French leisure retreat, the property pairs neoclassical trompe-l'œil motifs with contemporary coastal design.
