More Quarters Hotel
Cape Town · South Africa
Reviews
Character and identity
Tucked into the cobbled lanes of Gardens, More Quarters occupies a cluster of heritage Cape Town townhouses that the More family has steadily acquired around their Cape Cadogan boutique hotel next door. The effect is a discreet residential village of 18 self-catering suites, anchored by a plant-filled, botanical breakfast room reserved for guests. Expect a fireplace lounge, a free waterfront shuttle, 24-hour service, and a concierge desk, all wrapped around accommodation that feels more pied-à-terre than hotel suite. The register is quiet, residential, and unfussy, closer to a serviced apartment than a grand hotel.
Who's it for
Best for:
Independent, repeat visitors to Cape Town who already know the city and want a base rather than a stage. It suits couples and small families who value space, a kitchen, and a quiet night's sleep, and it's a natural fit for travellers extending a trip from one of the More safari lodges in South Africa or Zimbabwe.
Should look elsewhere:
First-timers wanting a full-service grand hotel experience with multiple restaurants, bars, and a pool should book elsewhere; there's no pool yet, and dining begins and ends with breakfast. Rooms have showers only, so bath lovers should note that too.
Bottom line
The pitch here is apartment living with hotel service in a heritage Gardens setting, and it delivers exactly that, no more and no less. Book it if you want to self-cater, come and go independently, and use Cape Town as the main event. A one-bedroom suite with kitchen and lounge is the sweet spot; ask about combined stays with a More safari lodge.
