Hippo Boutique Hotel

Welcome to a hip and laid-back establishment which deserves its reputation for style, comfort and appeal. Look out for it behind the cherry-wood sliding doors.

Hippo has twenty spacious standard rooms and five designer executive suites (double volume lofts with bedroom / bathroom on a mezzanine level). The rooms are en-suite, air-conditioned and come equipped with king size beds covered in fine cotton linen (two single beds also an option should you wish to share a room but not the bed!). The stainless steel kitchenettes (equipped with microwave and filt

er-coffee plunger), come in very handy for that late-night snack or early-morning coffee. Being a four-star graded hotel, there is of course no need to assure you of all the standard items one can expect (from electronic safe to hairdryer, to the hip-branded umbrellas) - but definitely the complimentary high speed internet access is worth a mention! Yes, all the rooms are equipped with both ADSL and wireless internet access, but also featuring the option of iPod, CD and DVD facilities. All of this will keep you connected at no extra charge.

At Hippo Boutique Hotel, we believe in art with a story. Andrew, a master of wire sculpture, has been refining his craft since he was a young boy in Zimbabwe, inspired by the artistry of his mother.

Through our collaboration, Andrew creates everything from our unique room keyrings to large-scale bespoke commissions. Our mission is to connect our guests directly with authentic local talent, ensuring Andrew’s artistry continues to thrive.

Looking for a gift with a distinct Cape Town flair? Let us introduce you to the man behind the wire.
