Ellerman House is one of the most discreet hotels in Cape Town and it is little wonder that celebrities such as Pavarotti have chosen to reside here in the past.

Once home to shipping magnate Sir John Ellerman, this elegant Sir Herbert Baker-style mansion has been restored to its 20th century splendour. It provides sumptuous accommodation combined with every modern convenience.

Thick and heavy curtains, classic armchairs, antique fireplaces, South African art, books and lots of beautiful cushions all compliment the historical architecture of Ellerman House.

In the bar, raw Table Mountain granite blends with skilled stone masonry, leather and rich woods. The fully equipped gym and steam bath add to the comfort and convenience of Ellerman House. The stately library with its collection of old, rare volumes, as well as new literature, is there for you to browse at your leisure.

Ellerman House is located in Cape Town, on Kloof Road, set back from Bantry Bay seafront.
