Why Stay Zest Boutique Hotel?
Zest Boutique Hotel offers a quieter, design-focused alternative to larger Cape Town hotels. Located in Green Point, it combines colourful 1970s-inspired interiors, personalised boutique hospitality and a relaxed poolside setting with convenient access to the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town Stadium and the city centre. Its 14 individually styled rooms make it particularly appealing to couples, independent travellers and visitors seeking a more intimate Cape Town experience.
About Zest Boutique Hotel
Zest Boutique Hotel is a 14-room boutique property situated on Braemar Road in Green Point, one of Cape Town’s most convenient neighbourhoods for exploring the Atlantic Seaboard and city centre. Part of The Living Journey Collection, the hotel combines retro-inspired furnishings, geometric patterns and vibrant colour palettes with modern comforts and individually designed guest rooms.
Accommodation is divided into Classic, Deluxe and Superior categories, with selected rooms featuring private balconies, pool or garden outlooks and views towards Signal Hill or the harbour. Guests can enjoy an outdoor swimming pool, landscaped garden, rooftop terrace, breakfast service and wellness treatments. The hotel’s location places the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town Stadium, Cape Quarter and numerous restaurants within convenient reach.
The Zest Boutique Hotel Experience
Staying at Zest Boutique Hotel feels more like visiting a thoughtfully designed private residence than a conventional city hotel. The atmosphere is intimate, colourful and relaxed, with a relatively small number of rooms allowing for a more personalised approach to hospitality.
Guests can spend time beside the pool, relax in the garden, enjoy the rooftop terrace or explore Green Point’s restaurants and attractions. The property works particularly well for travellers who prefer a peaceful base with easy access to Cape Town’s busier entertainment and sightseeing districts.
What Makes This Property Special?
1970s-Inspired Design – Retro furniture, geometric patterns, distinctive colours and contemporary finishes give the hotel an individual design identity.
Intimate Boutique Atmosphere – Just 14 guest rooms create a smaller, more personal accommodation experience.
Green Point Location – Positioned within convenient reach of the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town Stadium, Cape Quarter and central Cape Town.
Outdoor Leisure Spaces – A swimming pool, landscaped garden, sun terrace and rooftop relaxation areas provide opportunities to unwind between outings.
Individually Styled Rooms – Room layouts, outlooks and decorative details vary, with selected categories offering balconies and garden or pool views.
Sustainability Initiatives – The Living Journey Collection describes its use of biodegradable housekeeping products, locally produced amenities, recycling and water-harvesting initiatives.
Collection Experiences – Guests can enquire about wellness treatments and curated Cape Town experiences offered through The Living Journey Collection.
