1 Kensington – Luxury Boutique Hotel in Higgovale

Tucked away in the leafy slopes of Higgovale, just beneath Table Mountain, 1 Kensington is an intimate luxury boutique hotel that feels like a private hideaway in the heart of Cape Town. With its blend of elegant design, personalised service, and breathtaking views over the city and Atlantic Ocean, it offers a truly sophisticated base for exploring the Mother City.

The hotel’s five beautifully appointed en-suite rooms combine contemporary comfort with timeless style. Each suite offers plush bedding, designer finishes, and either mountain or city views, creating a sanctuary of calm after a day of discovery. Guests can unwind in the spacious lounge and dining areas, enjoy curated meals in the elegant restaurant, or relax outdoors on the terrace surrounded by lush gardens.

A highlight of 1 Kensington is its sparkling swimming pool and sun deck, where days drift by under Cape Town’s blue skies, framed by the dramatic backdrop of Table Mountain. With its serene setting, this boutique hotel is equally suited for romantic getaways, small groups, or families looking for a refined yet welcoming stay.

Ideally located, 1 Kensington is just minutes from the vibrant cafés and boutiques of Kloof Street, the world-renowned V&A Waterfront, and the sun-soaked beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton.
