An URBAN OASIS in Cape Town
Set in a leafy suburb on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain, Palm House Boutique Hotel and Spa offers an indulgent urban hideaway in the heart of Cape Town, South Africa’s beautiful ‘Mother City’.
Spread between the century-old main house and around the lush gardens and pool terrace, our ten luxurious rooms and five garden suites offer an opulent retreat for both business and leisure travellers. With a variety of options, Palm House caters to your every need, ensuring comfort and elegance. Families are warmly welcomed, with spacious Garden Suites designed to provide ample room for relaxation and connection.

Located in the historic suburb of Upper Wynberg, Palm House Boutique Hotel and Spa is conveniently situated for easy access to the city centre, Cape Town International Airport, Atlantic Seaboard, Constantia Winelands, or False Bay and Cape Point.

Spice Route at Palm House Boutique Hotel and Spa
*Dine Plan Review*:
Nestled in the tranquil suburban landscape, this restaurant offers a dining experience that transcends the ordinary. My recent Tuesday evening visit coincided with their themed Spice Night, revealing a culinary journey that delighted both the palate and the senses. The atmosphere exudes a relaxed sophistication, with beautiful surroundings that invite diners to unwind and savour each moment. What truly sets this establishment apart is its staff—knowledgeable and attentive, they are committed to crafting a dining experience that is as memorable as it is delicious. The carefully curated menu showcased remarkable attention to detail, with each course thoughtfully designed to complement the others. My gastronomic exploration began with crisp, golden samoosas—a classic appetizer executed with precision. The starter set a promising tone for the meal to follow. The main course, a quintessential Durban Curry, was a masterful representation of bold, authentic flavours. Rich, aromatic, and perfectly spiced, it demonstrated the kitchen`s deep understanding of traditional cuisine. A carefully selected wine pairing elevated the dish, creating a harmonious balance of flavours. The culinary journey concluded with a classic Malva Pudding, a sweet finale that captured the essence of South African dessert tradition. Warm, sticky, and indulgent, it provided a perfect counterpoint to the preceding spicy notes. At R395, including a glass of wine, the Spice Route menu represents exceptional value. This restaurant is not merely a meal, but a celebration of flavour, technique, and hospitality. Highly Recommended.
