Where to Stay in Cape Town: A Stylish Escape at The Old Foundry Hotel
As someone working in the hospitality space, I’ve stayed in more hotels than I can count — but some places just get it right.
The Old Foundry Hotel in Green Point, Cape Town, is one of those.
It feels like something more than a hotel. It feels lived-in, well-loved, and intentionally designed for travelers who want a little more than just a bed for the night.
📍 A Hotel That Knows Its City
We’re based in Green Point — one of Cape Town’s most walkable and vibrant areas. Just 10 minutes from the V&A Waterfront and even closer to the heartbeat of the city.
I always say to guests: if you want to feel Cape Town, don’t stay on the edge of it. Stay where it happens. And this is it.
☕ Dave & Troy: The Heartbeat of the Bar
Ask anyone who’s stayed here recently, and they’ll tell you about Dave & Troy.
They don’t just serve coffee — they serve connection. Morning rituals turn into conversations, and some of our best guest feedback has come from moments shared across that bar.
As someone who sees hospitality from the inside, this is what makes a property truly memorable — the people.
🌍 Blending Business, Leisure & Cape Town’s Soul
We’ve hosted digital nomads, solo adventurers, couples on weekend escapes, and business travelers with tight agendas. And the magic is… they all find their rhythm here.
It’s the kind of place that holds space for both focus and freedom — a morning Zoom call and an afternoon wine tasting can easily fit into the same day.
What I’ve Learned from This Space
- A hotel is only as good as its people.
- Design should never get in the way of comfort.
- Great coffee and a genuine “How are you today?” is still unbeatable.
- Hospitality is about anticipating, not just reacting.
If you’re planning a trip to Cape Town and want to experience the city with heart, I’d love to recommend The Old Foundry Hotel — not just because I know it inside and out, but because I’ve seen how it impacts our guests.
