The Glen Boutique Hotel & Spa

I’ve been truly fortunate enough to have traveled the world. And been to many exciting places. However, I can count on one hand the amount of hotels that have elevated the destination experience to TOP-notch memorable. The Glen Boutique Hotel and Spa in Cape Town, S. Africa has brought it to a whole new level. First, let me mention the impeccable 6 star experience the staff constantly provides to each guest. That attentive service is always carried with warm smiles. The hotel provides a lovely spa where you can indulge in a hot tub, steam bath or dry sauna session followed by a pampered massage or body scrub. To energize the first part of your day, the Glen provides a wonderful full breakfast including warm dishes (eggs, omelettes, full English breakfast (aka a hearty American breakfast), including fresh baked French pastries, yogurts, fresh fruit, coffees and teas and freshly squeezed juices. While relaxing by the pool, the staff continue to cater to its guests with cocktails and snacks (additional charge but certainly worth it). And if you are eager to venture on a tour in or around the surrounding Cape Town area (including visiting some of the world renowned vineyards/wineries), the staff is more than willing to customize a tour package that suits your schedule and needs. If you want to make your trip to Cape Town the best of the best, please stay at The Glen Boutique Hotel and Spa. A kind thank you to Mark and the team (including Takunda, Maggie, Jayden, Jason, kitchen, housekeeping, maintenance, food and beverage, and everyone else who contribute to the 6 stars). Well done. Pros: located in beautiful High Point section of Cape Town. Quick 15 minute Uber ride to Victoria & Alfred waterfront (stores, shopping galore). Hotel area has fantastic restaurants nearby or if you don’t want to venture out have a great dinner at the hotel. Rooms are always spotless with warm candles, fruit and fluffy towels. Pool area has sufficient amount of lounge chairs around the infinity pool. Spa has couples or solo treatments. Steam bath and sauna is available to all guests. Cons: Having to return home after a wonderful stay.

Beautiful Hotel and spa, quiet and relaxing, only a few minutes walk to the sea The rooms are amazing, so much attention to detail, absolutely nothing missed. The owner and staff are so welcoming and friendly, they can’t do enough to make your stay the best it can be. They are truly exceptional . Wonderful food, perfectly cooked! I simply would t stay anywhere else in Cape Town, now we’ve found this little gem.

We are a couple in our mid 70’s who love to travel the world. We been fortunate to stay at very high end properties, Relais & Châteaux etc. The Glen Boutique Hotel has elevated our standard of excellence in every way. Our room was beautiful and full of little luxury extras including turn down service every evening. Every staff member was welcoming, friendly, engaging and they couldn’t do enough for you! The breakfast was delicious and dinner in the dining room was amazing. We are already planning a return trip despite the 24hour flight, this hotel makes it worth it!!

This boutique hotel is a hidden gem, from the owner “Mark” to all the amazing staff this is the best hotel option in Cape Town. The food is outstanding, a lekker breakfast, and all the amenities are 1st class and I would say totally “Gucci” and all in a convenient location within walking distance of all you need from the promenade to the V&A

This little hotel is an absolute gem. An oasis of calm in the midst of the city. It’s a short taxi(Uber) ride from the V and A and has restaurants within walking distance. The breakfast was divine sitting on a lovely terrace by the pool and we ate there one evening too. The decor is beautiful and our room , though small , was very comfortable. They have secure private parking but we hadn’t collected the car so they stored our golf clubs in the luggage room to save space in our bedroom. Honestly nothing could have been nicer. We loved the whole place and its gorgeous diversity. All the staff deserve a special mention. They were all delightful.

Absolutely no surprise at all that we have just experienced our 3rd fabulous stay at The Glen. Mark and his team are amazing people , it’s so refreshing to see people so dedicated, devoted and happy to want to do the very best they can. I challenge anyone not to be blown away by the vibe and superior quality of the service that is literally in this beautiful hotels DNA. We are so happy and grateful to have been a small part of its ongoing success and history. Thank you x
