Declared a National Monument in 1973, its rich and colourful history stretches back 300 years to 1753, when the hotel hosted and entertained guests such as Mark Twain, Captain Cook, Cecil John Rhodes, and Lord Charles Somerset. The recent revamping of the Hotel to a 5-star contemporary and vibrant venue allows guests to indulge themselves at one of the three unique restaurants or take a rejuvenating stroll through the beautiful gardens and unwind in the luxurious suites.

The Alphen Boutique Hotel’s prime location is 15 minutes from the Cape Town CBD and the beaches of False Bay, whilst still offering the feel of a secluded rural retreat. This makes it the ideal getaway for those wishing to escape the busy city, but still wish to experience the vibrant pulse of what Cape Town has to offer.

Constantia is an affluent suburb of Cape Town, South Africa, situated about 15 kilometres south of the CBD. Constantia is one of the oldest suburbs of Cape Town and is famed for its wine. Notable wine estates include Groot Constantia, Steenberg, Buitenverwachting, Klein Constantia, and Constantia Uitsig. Constantia is characterised by vineyards, horse paddocks and majestic views of the Constantia Valley, as well as views across the southern suburbs of Cape Town. Situated in a secluded valley near to the city, Hout Bay is a short drive over the Constantia Nek pass and the beaches of Muizenberg are within easy reach. Constantia is Cape Town’s secret rural retreat and the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of city-life.
