While there are plenty of trendy boutiques to choose from in Cape Town, Zest Boutique Hotel is a bit more surprising. It's located in a funky '70s vibe, sandwiched in between Braemar Road in Green Point and the comforts of a modern city hotel. It's personalised with bright colours, unusual furniture and quiet corners. It's right on the action, but there's an incredible calmness on the inside.

A Small Stay with Character
Zest Boutique Hotel guest accommodation is very intimate since there are only 14 rooms. No big lobby and no long corridors that are all alike. The interiors, however, are characterized by geometric patterns, retro elements and lots of natural light. There's something we see with brio. Others are quite understated. The contrast here is natural, as there is light soft daylight that flows in through the windows and there are a couple of clean spaces that are good for sitting.
The garden has a different atmosphere when outside. For some sanctuary from the streets, there is a swimming pool, sun loungers and a sunk seating area. There is also a rooftop terrace, with views across parts of the city. Inspitely vibrant yet not overbearing, Zest Boutique Hotel is busy without being busy.
Comfortable Rooms and Slow Mornings
Zest Boutique Hotel offers three types of rooms, namely Classic Deluxe and Superior Deluxe. The classic rooms are oriented towards the pool, garden or Signal Hill. Deluxe rooms feature balconies, Superior Deluxe rooms have more space close to the garden and pool area. Comforts include king size beds, the possibility to have air conditioning and Wi-Fi, televisions and coffee machines, along with their own bathroom. There are a few different styles, per room, adding a bit more personality to the accommodation.
Zest Boutique Hotel serves a plated breakfast as well as a continental menu. I'm just saying, it is appealing enough to have a quiet morning with coffee and go outside to Cape Town. There is a bar too and the neighbourhood is full of options for having lunch or for dinner.
Green Point and Nearby Attractions
The area plays a large role in the allure. Zest Boutique Hotel is close to the V&A Waterfront, Cape Quarter and Cape Town stadium. There are cafes and restaurants at Green Point as well, with the waterfront offering some more eateries and harbour views and an extra bit of life. Clifton and Camps Bay are just a few minutes' drive. This hotel also has enough proximity with the city centre and Bo-Kaap too, this feels like the hotel is connected to more than one side of Cape Town.
The overnight stay at Zest Boutique Hotel could be R2,500 – R5,500 with accommodation type and dates! Prices are subject to change during holiday times, as well as advertised rates. A list of resort facilities, while larger-scale, may not be so interesting as the smaller scale and central setting.
Final Thought
This is far from the traditional large Cape Town hotel known as Zest Boutique Hotel. It is easily charming thanks to its colourful rooms, garden areas and convenient location. Some guests may prefer the retro feel and others may just prefer to be on a less lively base, close to the waterfront. In any event, the spot is home to its own ambiance.
