Best Places to Stay in Cape Town for Work Travel (And Why The Old Foundry Stands Out)

Over the past few years, I’ve had the chance to observe how business travelers behave when they’re in Cape Town — and one trend stands out clearly: boutique hotels are becoming the go-to choice for professionals who crave more than just a bed to sleep in.

As part of the team at The Old Foundry Hotel in De Waterkant, I’ve seen firsthand how the right accommodation can transform a business trip into a meaningful experience — one that fuels focus, productivity, and a genuine sense of belonging.

Here’s what I’ve noticed:

💼 Business guests want more than WiFi — They’re looking for quiet, beautifully designed spaces that spark creativity. At The Old Foundry, our industrial-chic design and heritage charm strike that balance between function and inspiration.

🧳 Proximity is everything — Being five minutes from the V&A Waterfront and a quick ride from CTICC makes it easy for guests to shift between business meetings and sunset cocktails without wasting time in traffic.

☕️ It’s the little things — A barista who remembers your order. A check-in that feels like coming home. An in-room workspace that’s actually usable. These are the moments that build loyalty.

The way we travel for work is changing. Today’s professionals want flexibility, authenticity, and a space that understands them. That’s what we aim to deliver — every stay, every guest, every time.
