Located along a sweeping palm-lined coastal road, it is an iconic 1920s Cape Dutch-style building, with whitewashed walls and prominent rounded gables.
The interiors are just as impressive, featuring lavish lounges and elegant dining rooms. Leather wing chairs, plush patterned sofas, glass-topped coffee tables, bouquets of flowers, even a grandfather clock… this really is luxury living, the ultimate in comfort and class! The hotel’s eateries include Harveys, a restaurant, bar, and delicatessen with a gorgeous courtyard – here, guests are treated to traditional South African cuisine with a European twist. The ambience is great and the furnishings feature comfy couches, stylish barstools, and elegant tables and chairs. Come evening, guests can enjoy a drink while watching the sun set over the Atlantic Ocean. And every Sunday sees the exhilarating Jazz Brunch – a variety of artists perform while you sit back and tuck into a cosmopolitan brunch buffet! With the monthly Grapes, Gourmet, and Gallery evening too, known as 3G, Winchester Mansions provides a lot of entertainment overall. The hotel also has first-rate conference facilities, catering for up to 100 delegates in four distinct venues. Just get in touch with us for all the details! Finally, there is the Ginkgo Health and Wellness Spa and the sparkling 47.5 square meter swimming pool.
