The Gorgeous George is a glamorous boutique design hotel in the vibrant city centre, housed in two lovingly restored historic buildings on St George's Mall.

The Capital Mirage is a modern apartment hotel located right on the edge of De Waterkant, Cape Town's gay village. From here, you can walk to the neighborhood's best gay bars and restaurants, and the V&A Waterfront is also not far away. Stylish, spacious apartments and a rooftop pool make the house a comfortable base for your stay.
The Greenhouse Boutique Hotel in Green Point is a charming, affordable address for gay travelers who want to stay close to the action. From here it is only a few minutes' walk to the gay village De Waterkant with its bars and restaurants. A sunny terrace and the cosy boutique character create a relaxed atmosphere.
Gay hotels in Cape Town are concentrated around De Waterkant in Green Point, the city's gay district. Those who live here have bars, cafés and restaurants right on their doorstep and short distances to the centre and the V&A Waterfront. Characterised by low Cape Dutch buildings, the neighbourhood is considered one of the trendiest in the city and is safe enough to walk in the evening. Several boutique hotels and guesthouses in the district are aimed specifically at gay guests or openly advertise their queer-friendly attitude.
But you are not fixed on De Waterkant. In the neighboring districts of Green Point and Sea Point, as well as on the V&A Waterfront, there are numerous gay-friendly houses where no one looks funny when two men book a double room. South Africa introduced same-sex marriage back in 2006, and Cape Town is considered one of the most open cities on the continent. Which location is worthwhile depends on what you are planning. If you're looking for nightlife, De Waterkant is the place to be; if you want beach and sea views, go to Sea Point. Plan early if your visit falls during the weeks of Cape Town Pride at the end of February, as the houses in the neighbourhood fill up quickly. The following selection will help you find the right location and the right house.
