Cape Town Hotel Award Winner
The Winchester Mansions has just been awarded, as the only South African winner, the Budget Travel magazine and Trip Advisor 100 Best Values 2008. The winners were determined by a combination of the highest traveller ratings and the TripAdvisor Popularity Index, a measurement of overall traveller satisfaction.
This is accolade indeed and well deserved.
I stayed at the hotel in Oct 2006 and was impressed with it’s location and service. I had a beautiful suite overlooking the ocean - there is a busy road between the hotel and the promenade, but this wasn’t a problem.
The hotel bar is a lively place and is full with hotel guests and locals - this is always a good sign when locals choose to visit. The hotel offers a jazz breakfast, which has proved extremely popular and now has to be booked in advance.
The Winchester Mansions is about a 20 minute walk to the Waterfront along the sea wall, which is very pleasant.
I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone who has a few nights in Cape Town.

I am the UK Sales Representative for Winchester Mansions. I have a great job, promoting this wonderful hotel. We get SUCH good feedback from guests. It’s a charming little property, actually an old apartment building in the ‘cape dutch’ style, so all the rooms and suites are quite varied. The sea facing position is stunning and there is a beautiful, flower filled (in the summer) courtyard where breakfast is served and the excellent Jazz Sunday brunch.
It’s the little extras that are provided that make Winchester Mansions so popular, such as complimentary fresh fruit, fruit juices and suncreams laid out by the pool each day. It is also excellent for families, children are welcome and even indulged with their own bathrobes!
