When celebrating the 5th anniversary Dope (African in the village) maintains a fairly inconspicuous thing, as is common in specific hidden gems. Following the faithful follow -up of international magazines and the development of important features, this name is frequently heard.
welcome
One year after my first visit, I stepped on the door again, and the same staff greeted me warmly -I remembered me from my stay in front of me. When I am walking around the hotel, there are even handshakes and some hugs. When I enter the cottage, the entrance table has a welcome note signed by “Your Dope family” instead of “Dope Family”.

This subtle change in synonyms reflects the spirit of Dorp. It conveys the emotions of a “welcome house” that many hotels claim, but are struggling to deliver. I knew it was a special opportunity, so there was an ice bucket that introduced a completely cool bottle of my favorite Bochendal Cap Classic in South Africa’s shining wine.
room
There are 42 rooms in Dorp, each of which is fascinating and unique, spreading to a white -painted building on the premises. Each of the Georgian -style accommodation facilities has its own character, creating the feel of the village instead of a hotel. The impressive R200 million land is invested in these rooms -there is no small amount of work -it shows it. A cautiously curated space reminiscent of an interior magazine has a feeling of stepping beyond the boutique. The room is located like a maze and continues from the pool courtyard and gravel garden road.


During my first stay, room 3 felt like a house. And while it is classified as one of the entry -level rooms, it is the most beautiful thing, a custom -made wallpaper to decorate the wall, the bulge of beautiful fabrics next to the bedding and curtains, and a private courtyard. To smoke sunlight. Above all, if you want to develop for breakfast in the morning, it’s just a restaurant.


Rose cottage is a crown jewel in all rooms. There was a privilege to call it home during the second visit. As you walk along the garden road, the double wooden door opens in a large dining room and kitchen, and has a guest bathroom. The short passage leads to a spacious bedroom. Three sets of doors are open from the bedroom, not only in unparalleled cities, but also in a private pool to cool in the summer heat. Sitting in an independent bathtub, the city extends to one side, and the other is burning Wood.


Outside, magic is deployed in the outdoor dining area adjacent to the pool. Through the garden tunnel, the stairs climb the rooftop terrace that straddles the entire cottage. Here, we ate, took the sun in the laujer, and stared at millions of sparkling light in the city. There is even a personal steam room just outside the front entrance, as if this alone is not enough. This is probably probably the sanctuary that is the most acquired in the city.
facility
The restaurant/lounge functions as a hotel central rally space. This area is lively with leaves, bright artwork, sofa and table. In the evening, a candle illuminates the dining room, creates a calm atmosphere that complements soft music and flickering flames, and dances from the palm leaves. Here, a meal is provided, such as the famous Roti Sali Chicken, which is a dish that turns visitors into repeat guests. There is no alcoholician, but guests welcome their drinks without Colka. Alternatively, you can order the selected drink via Uber and deliver it to the table.


Breakfast is always a wonderful event. Instead of menu and inactive buffet, daily offer is full of joyful tables, such as fresh fruits, luxurious cakes, and cooked options. You can enjoy meals on the outdoor terrace in the shade of attractive umbrellas and potted plants. In addition, the stairs are connected to the rooftop terrace, where the 360 -degree view of the city is waiting.


All necessary to plan a trip in 2024
place
BO-KAAP is a culturally rich suburbs that straddle the Signal Hill slope across the CBD. The characteristic colorful house is one of the most photographs in the city and visited. In a bright color, you will get an attractive insight on community life, such as a traditional Malay cuisine scent that combines flavors in Malaysia, Indonesia and Africa.


The long market street passes through the suburbs, and the ultimate steep stretch will take you to Dorp. When you leave the car, two things will greet you -the city Cape Town A beautiful white building that extends further down and arrives at the dope is spreading.


Other nice touch
The clear “village” of the property evokes the wine farm’s ideas, not the city environment. When you get off the veranda, the stone road leads a white -painted building, all of which are decorated with lush landscaping. We share space with Caprobins, dragonflies, and hotel cats, all enjoying the sanctuary of the garden. There is also a refreshing dip courtyard pool.


Complete property includes Dorp, and on the stairs, Ondorp functions as another wing suitable for small meetings and group reservations. There are deli and shops, where you can bring back some of the iconic hotel tools and three additional pools.
cost
The price of the guest rooms is from R4700 to R14000 to R4800 to R6800. Group reservations can be used for special rates that include meetings, weddings, and other intimate gathering. All rooms have breakfast and have free room snacks and soft drinks.
Best bit
Let’s face it. All luxury hotels offer comfortable beds and delicious dishes, but many of them depend on staff. The 42 guest rooms are supported by 66 staff members, providing all needs. Judging from the establishment of staff who are rare in hospitality, they are clearly enjoying their roles like guests. In my last morning, after arriving, I approached the grand piano that I had been gently invitating. When I played a traditional South Africa song, I was surprised to find at least 10 enthusiastic staff gathered behind me and participated in the Great Spirit.


Final decision
Dope may be classified as a hotel, but it is far from your typical facility. Rather, it is an elegant and lect -like village floating on the city of Cape Town operated by a wonderful staff team. After two stay, Dorp has a strong claim as my number one hotel in Cape Town. After all, who says that travel journalists can’t have a favorite?
