The best of Sea Point at your doorstep

Born from a vision to bring a treasure to Regent Road, our owner Romao transformed this iconic spot into the 41-bedroom boutique gem it is today. We’re perched right inside the Piazza da Luz, which means you have the best of Sea Point at your doorstep - from morning stops at leading convenience shops, high-end medical and skincare pros as well as exclusive boutiques along with beauty and hair salons, all adding to making your stay super comfortable.
