Cape Town Hotels: Hippo Boutique Hotel

Situated in the hub of Cape Town, Hippo is an exclusive, 20-roomed Boutique Hotel that offers you the convenience of a central location. Stay in and relax at the plunge pool or in the lounge.

Hippo offers a stylish yet comfortable stay from the contemporary design to the finishing touches like the fine cotton linen. The feel is sophisticated and chic, yet relaxed and laid-back. Each en suite room offers air-conditioning, as well as underfloor-heating, wireless internet, a plasma tv and home theatre system.

Once you step out of the hotel's doors, you'll find yourself in the middle of Cape Town's cafe culture. Venturing a little further, you can explore the Cape's world-famous landmarks such as Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront and the beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay.

The rooms have everything you may need to remain luxuriously self-contained, from kitchen units equipped with microwaves and complimentary tea and filter coffee, to state-of-the-art internet technology built into your own computer and home entertainment centre.

There's no need to venture far for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Downstairs from Hippo are three lovely restaurants.

Greens specialises in fresh modern food, while at Fat Cactus you can enjoy spicy Mexican dishes and frozen margaritas. You could also indulge your cravings for authentic Thai food at Simply Asia.
