Elegant boutique hotel in Hout Bay, Cape Town

Welcome to THE PLATINUM BOUTIQUE HOTEL, an exclusive luxury retreat located on the majestic Little Lion's Head in Hout Bay.

THE PLATINUM is one of Cape Town's best kept secrets. We offer discerning travelers a luxurious escape in a private, sophisticated setting. 

Our property is a stone's throw from Cape Town's CBD. We are far enough from the city centre to be a haven of tranquility, but within easy reach of all the Mother's City's famous sights and attractions. It is this convenient balance that sees our loyal guests returning to THE PLATINUM year after year.

THE PLATINUM is renowned for superior service, chic decor and attention to detail. We more than live up to the 4-star rating given to us by the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa. We have also been awarded the prestigious SUPERIOR rating by the inspectors of AAQA - the Automobil Association of South Africa.

Relaxation by Design

Each suite has its own private entrance, luxurious bathroom, tea station and Nespresso machine. All our suites are non-smoking. We offer free high speed (100Mb) wireless internet (WiFi or WLan) throughout the property. In addition to the South African DSTV channels, our television program includes German channels ARD, ZDF, RTL and SAT1 via satellite.

Our Pool Suites overlook a designer salt water pool and lush gardens. Our Master Suite overlooks the gardens, Chapman's Peak and the Atlantic Ocean. From the main entertainment area, our guests enjoy vistas of the famous Chapman's Peak, the Table Mountain Nature Reserve and Hout Bay's tranquil beach. Lovers of modern architecture will appreciate our property's minimalistic Bauhaus-inspired design and sophisticated decor.
