About Gorgeous George
Uniting a stunning blend of 18th-century grandeur with the raw industrial edge of central Cape Town, Gorgeous George is a bold testament to both South African and international design, with an unapologetically urban style and attitude in a destination known for its seaside hotels.
Formed from two buildings that were connected in the 1940s—one Art Deco, the other New Edwardian—the 20-room, 12-suite hotel unifies the two styles through an exquisite use of concrete and steel, as well as through Victorian elements, contemporary design, and African influences.
One enters the hotel through historic brass doors and is immediately immersed in a world of hand-painted, 1800 Delft-inspired ceramic tiles portraying a map of Cape Town. In the guestrooms, a color palette of blues, whites, and mountainside greens serve in stark contrast to the hotel's industrial undertones.
The rooftop, meanwhile, with its welcoming terrace and pool, is a green oasis where one is surrounded by the sounds of the city. Taken together, two heritage buildings form a one-of-a-kind hotel smack in the center of town. And the result is, well, simply Gorgeous!

George
Gorgeous George was the best property we stayed in on our five week stay in Africa. The hotel is unique in presentation and design; the staff were extremely helpful; the room was made up early each day, and consistently; and the rooftop bar served excellent food and had a lovely atmosphere and unique decor.
The hotel is located right in the centre of Cape Town near the markets. It's an oasis in the middle of the City and ideal if you wish to experience Cape Town proper, and take cheap Uber trips to the Waterfront. We highly recommend this place and would return should we visit Cape Town again. The vibe, the staff - everything about the place was wonderful.

I wish there was a retractable mirror with an enlarged mirror for face prep. We ladies love the large mirror, including extra lighting.
Ralf
This is a wonderful boutique hotel, probably the best I’ve ever stayed in (and I travel a lot and stay in many hotels). The attention to detail, the thoughtfulness of the furnishings and decorations made me feel welcome … a yoga mat in the room, a stocked drinks fridge and quality snacks in the room, a full ice bucket and complimentary home baked shortbread biscuits brought to the room at the end of the day, quality artwork on the walls, a comfortable bed with quality linen, a selection of interesting books on the shelves. And then there is the quirky restaurant and rooftop terrace on the 6th floor - Gigi Rooftop - which serves great food and quality drinks … I didn’t want to go elsewhere as is so often the case in business hotels. Best of all is the staff, from the doorman and receptionist to the restaurant staff … they were all great!! Switched on, attentive friendly, they even remembered our names! I can highly recommend this place.
Tiffany
Very clean and amazing staff! Highly recommend
James
Fantastic central spot. Spacious and well designed / decorated rooms. Staff were 10/10. Rooftop restaurant is definitely worth visiting. Fantastic food, drinks and vibes. Shout out to London (one of the bar staff). Great energy.
patricia
Super friendly staff, clean room and really enjoyed the Gigi restaurant!
Agapito
Everyone is so friendly and courteous here at the hotel. Dining experience in the hotel is excellent. Food is top notch.
Security is good.
The only issue is the glass doors for the room toilets. Feels weird/awkward. Even though it's obscure glass, it still feels weird - unless your staying by yourself.

Alistair
If I could give 6 stars I would. This hotel is an absolute marvel.
The staff here are wonderful, so friendly and helpful. The rooms are delightful. My bed was comfy and the room spacious and well laid out. The decor throughout is fantastic.
Small note is that as an older building you may hear some noise from guests in other rooms but I was not at all disturbed in my stay.
The food is excellent, there is a lovely breakfast included. there is a great onsite restaurant with a rooftop terrace.
I was unfortunately taken sick with a chest infection I picked up on the plane, and the hotel were really very accomodating for me during this difficult time. Nothing was too much trouble for anyone. Really this place is a template for what a good hotel should be.

Overall, it was gorgeous!
The staff were incredibly friendly, the roof was so good, however, we did have dinner there one day and they were basically out of everything we tried to order.

Great design and brilliant location for all facilities. Amazing food and good sized portions. Friendly and helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely stay there again and will recommend to friends.
Deborah
Fantastic find in downtown Cape Town
Our first visit to Cape Town and so glad we found this boutique hotel. Superb service, food (Gigi restaurant) and comfort. The quality and variety of breakfast was unbeatable! Excellent location for visiting Company's Garden, castle, Bo-Kaap, District 6 museum and short taxi ride to V&A Waterfront.
All staff were friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and valued. Chloe, in particular, was really helpful and even gave us a snack-pack for our drive out to Cape Point. Not your typical \"tourist\" hotel .... definitly in the hub of the city but we felt very safe there. For anyone travelling by hire car, they offer valet parking (which we used for one night at no extra charge). Very good value for money in every aspect.

Cute and fun
What a discovery! The hotel is really cute. Whoever was their designer did a great job. The room was spacious and well decorated and the water pressure in the bathroom was incredible. The rooftop restaurant was very stylish and the breakfast included with the stay was really good. They even packed us a breakfast takeaway bag when we had to leave at 3:30am for the airport! The hotel is in a great central location with fun vendors and a market square just outside the door. Would definitely recommend.
Britt
Such a unique hotel! So eclectic and warm at the same time. Service was amazing and the room was impeccable. I really enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend it.

In a prime location but comes with the difficulties of people nagging you for money/ bread on the street. Property itself is not 5*, more like 4*. Spacious room, excellent breakfast and very courteous/ helpful staff. Got to see the real Cape Town a bit because of location.
Could provide 2 bottles of water per day rather than the strict policy of one/room.
Enjoyed the stay and would highly recommend

Shower smells like mildew, surrounding areas not safe/walkable in the evening and dirty. Food was salty. Laundry hyper expensive in comparison.
All the hype of a 'has been' but no longer.

Happy honeymoon
GG had arranged it amazingly cozy for our honeymoon stay. Loved the interior. The welcome from the reception. Everything about it!
Colin
Really is Gorgeous
Amazing staff. Brilliant breakfasts. Cool place. Comfy rooms.
Luis
It was a little confusing ti find since its on a pedestrian street. I called the hotel and they sent the bell boy to direct me on how to get there. The rooms besides being very comfortable for my family and I, was very chic. You will fall in love with the rooftop restaurant. Reminded me of a LA chic vibe. The cocktails were amazing. The vibe was great. Athough it felt the hotel would be a great place for younger traveleres, there were so accommodating to my family and I. As a matter of fact, there were lots of families with young toddlers staying here.
The staff throughout the hotel was so cortious and helpful. They even walked with me to a grocery store to buy some stuff. I would have liked to have stayed for longer nights. I would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic experience at Gorgeous George for a very reasonable price. Staff and service were superb and the food and drinks at Gigi’s on the rooftop were our favorite! Highly recommend!!
David
My wife and I enjoyed three nights at the Gorgeous George; excellent layout, staff very attentive, meals and drinks choices very good. We plan to go back next year.
Christine
Very comfortable, large room. The bed was great and the shower was the best we experienced during our 2.5 weeks in South Africa. Also the staff is welcoming and responsive and the restaurant is terrific. We very highly recommend Gorgeous George!

Super chic but super loud
The hotel is incredibly chic and it offers cool amenities. Staff is also friendly and helpful. Room was totally fine and the price was fair. They offer parking. All that said, the area where the hotel is located is FAR FROM CHIC/hardly safe. It's also impossibly loud at night (like, can't sleep loud). Don't see myself coming back.
Kajsa
Beautiful and high level service
Beautiful hotel with kind and caring staff. Excellent location.

The location in the centre of the city required vigilance. We knew that when booking. It’s no criticism of the property but we considered that anyone going there should be aware and alert. Having said that the hotel and staff were excellent.

A little difficult to find the drop off point, you have to drive through a no entry sign to get to it!
Michael
Fantastic design hotel! Very close to everything and a fantastic breakfast on an idyllic roof terrace included!

One of my favorite hotels !

Great hotel with cool vibes
Great hotel in a great location close to so many attractions. The staff is amazing and the restaurant is spectacular on the rooftop. It’s a very cool vibe all around. I give five stars to the breakfast, which is superb, included with our room, and the dinner we enjoyed was A+. There are events at the hotel which makes it even better. I was travelling for three nights with my wife and four year old daughter and this stay was perfect.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic! It’s funky, clean, the rooms are spacious and well-appointed, the staff are amazing, the food (especially the breakfasts) are great. It’s like a hidden gem in the middle of plainness - the speakeasy of hotels. We highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.

All fine

Loved this oasis in the chaotic downtown of Cape Town. Amazing rooftop bar and hip small bar downstairs. Servers were attentive and polite as well.

Kind staff, comfy cleanest rooms

Hands down thee best experience I’ve had at a hotel ! Perfection ! The staff, food, vibes, location… you can’t go wrong !
William
This is a hotel with verve, boasting a style all its own. Ever so slightly (and enjoyably) steampunk. Spacious and comfortable rooms, professional and friendly staff. We lived the upstairs lounge and restaurant. Outside deck and plunge pool would be a plus in a slightly warmer season. Gorgeous George would be a great pick for most anybody, and is a refreshing alternative to stodgier luxury properties nearby.
Darcie
Fantastic experience. Lovely room and people!
Daniel
Great stay
Reid
Lovely clean and modern with a quirky touch

We loved the special events at the hotel, the breakfasts, and dinner on the 6th floor, the friendly and helpful staff, the rooms. It is a wonderful hotel.

Honeymoon at George
We spent 4 nights during our honeymoon at Gorgeous George. We had the most amazing stay. The location is central, right in the CBD. The rooms were clean, well equipped and extremely comfortable. Gigis restaurant was incredible on the top floor! They had amazing coffee, drinks, and mouthwatering food! Don’t miss their daily complementary a-la-carte breakfast! The hotel had such quirky, yet mindblowing decor! Will gladly come back
Christopher
The entire amazing staff made this beautiful place even more beautiful. I can’t wait to stay again.
Matthew
Large, well-appointed rooms, a fun rooftop restaurant with great breakfasts, and an arts and events space with inspiring up-and-coming local talent.

Really cool art-focused boutique hotel in the center of downtown. Area is a little edgy and getting in/out via car can be tricky but the staff is skilled and capable at assisting when you need it. We walked from hotel to the garden district along the park -- could have also done the walk to the waterfront easily. Food was really good - we had one dinner and a breakfast at the hotel. And drink program / cocktails were excellent. Just what you'd expect from an urban boutique hotel. Did not disappoint.
Frances
It was so beautiful and the FOOD and BAR inside the hotel was incredible. Truly loved and will be back.
Werner
The property was very nice, the staff was outstanding
Christopher
Second time staying here and it was just as great as the first time. As before, everyone was super welcoming and helpful and the room was fantastic. The restaurant too! It is well located with an interesting market nearby and an easy Uber/cab ride to the waterfront and other places. Thoroughly recommended - and I hope to visit again in the future!
Christopher
The hotel is fantastic - great decor visually in all the spaces, but also well thought out, and the room was really well done too, with lots of extras and plenty of space. Powerful shower and extremely comfortable bed!
The restaurant is amazing for breakfast, lunch and dinner and on top of it all there is a venue downstairs with occasional events. When I was there there was a great gig that felt very special - I was very glad to have stumbled on that (I should add that this finished at a reasonable time and I didn't notice it being disturbing from the room).
Above all, the staff were incredibly helpful, friendly, welcoming and patient - organising cars for onward trips and transfers and with general advice. I went out in the immediate area in the day and felt safe, although I was warned about being sensible and careful with belongings at various times which made me a little extra cautious (this seems to be the case in Cape Town and other cities generally, not specific to the area immediately around the hotel, although if I'd gone out at night I would have taken a car rather than walking). Geographically, the location is good though, with a market nearby and a few museums - and it's very easy to take a car to various other sites.

Trendy, centrally located, and very clean! Staff was great, except the restaurant staff was quite slow. The walls were thin so I could hear others coming and going from their rooms, noise from outside, and the music from the first floor venue. They did provide earplugs, so clearly they’re aware this is ann issue. Overall excellent, would stay again!

Clean room, convenient and friendly staff

The perfectly gorgeous GG hotel.
We stayed for a week all up and found the hotel architecture/fitout, services, dining and in particular the staff to be exceptional.
We were treated in a warm, friendly, professional manner by Tish, Chloe, Annie, Aaron and all the other wonderful who work at GG. The breakfast was superb, the cocktails divine and the ambience, music at Gigi's Rooftop to our liking.

Great location, loved the staff and the special treat and bed decoration. I wish we had more days.
Marjorie
Rooftop deck and dining were exactly as described. Very cool vibe and extremely welcoming staff made the experience top notch. Highly recommend this place for a hotel stay or for drinks and snacks or a meal. Love, love, love.
Kinga
We had a great time at Gorgeous George. First time in Cape Town, but definitely not the last. The decor and the vibe of the hotel was just perfect. Every breakfast was incredible, stuff are super friendly and we had everything we needed. Would happily stay again when in town!
Sam
We had a fantastic stay at Gorgeous George! The hotel was lovely and the service incredible.
We had a studio room which was perfect, clean and comfortable. Food and drinks were amazing and we loved having access to the rooftop deck/pool to relax.
The hotel is in a great location to get around town and its easy to find from the Uber stopping point. We had no issues walking around the local area during the day, and its close to the start of several walking tours. At night you'd need to Uber but its so reasonable and close to lots of the main restaurants/attractions.

Simply stunning! Incredible service, great food, good vibes!
Location means you can’t get a cab straight outside the front but the team goes out their way to ensure your safety is prioritised at night! Really loved our stay, will return!

The Gorgeous George Hotel was the perfect stop to end our honeymoon. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. The complimentary breakfast was delicious. If there is an event at the restaurant, it can be heard in your room but the earplugs helped with the noise.
Wilmarie
Amazing
This hotel is top notch. It is cute and unique. Every detail of the decor and amenities is perfection. The art all around, the snacks, the pool area, rooftop bar, even the stairs. The food is great, the drinks are amazing, the rooms are large and comfortable. It has anything you may need. The staff is wonderful and friendly. The price is perfectly reasonable considering the amazing breakfast was also included. It is in the city center, close to everything. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay so wonderful.
Peter
A really cool hotel in Cape Town city centre
Love this hotel. It's like being on a film set with great decor and atmosphere. The staff are really friendly and super-helpful. Breakfast is great and I recommend the avo, poached eggs, bacon and sourdough toast. Delicious. We also had dinner in the hotel one night which was very good.
I would say, be aware that this is in the city centre of cape Town. Brilliant during the day as you can walk everywhere from here but better to Uber at night. The doormen, especially Erin were great at helping us to feel totally secure.

The property is apparently owned by a German … but the interior was designed by a South African and it shows. Beautiful touches of Cape Town art and detail adorns this small boutique hotel.
It has a beautiful roof top bar and decor with decent food and drinks. The spacious rooms were designed in what I would call South African QT / W hotel vibes which I adore.
The hotel is difficult to access by car but they offer a free valet / parking service… you have to drive onto the pedestrian path / mall in front of the hotel.
The area around the hotel may not feel so safe at night… it is in the CBD / down town area after all.

What a fun place to stay! I would recommend gorgeous George highly!

Focus on “design”, at loss of functionality
Very central, yet difficult to access. As doors open from a pedestrian road, one has to drive into the pedestrian road to access parking. Finding this out the first time is not easy, and later on not practical.
Staff is welcoming, attentive and friendly.
Cleanliness is spotless.
Duvets and pillows, however, are very low quality, not in line with a supposed 5*hotel, rather a hospital, their filling is plasticky and their case is paper, resulting in very u comfortable sweaty sleep in the absence of perspiration. Alternative could not be provided at request.
Restaurant upstairs has the athmosphere of ruin bars, and air temperature is very cold. Even staff wears coats which comes across very unprofessional. Breakfast, Food is just OK. Drinks below acceptable standard.

Getting to the hotel's entrance is a bit tricky, some drivers know their ways so problem solved, otherwise the drop off point to hotel is still walkable. The hotel is beautifully restored with chic and creative design, bed is very comfortable. I really love the vibes here, unfortunately it can be very loud with the music during weekend. One should avoid this place if quiet room preferred. Breakfast served in a la carte menu and freshly prepared, it was so delicious. Staffs are very genuine, helpful and friendly. It was definitely the hidden gem in Cape Town.
