City Bowl Accommodation

Why you might choose to stay in the City Bowl

Lying snug in the immense arms of Table Mountain, Cape Town's city bowl is amazingly aptly named. The heart of Cape Town is enfolded neatly between the harbour and the mountain, virtually in the shape of a bowl. Did you know? Once you've booked your hotel or City Bowl accommodation in Cape Town, explore the destination pages below for info on attractions, activities and things to do when you visit one of the world's most beautiful cities, Cape Town. With nowhere else to move and stretch its boundaries, the city bowl is a self-contained entity, almost like a martini before it's poured, all shook up and tingling with taste. The city bowl holds some of the most interesting and historically significant neighbourhoods and the likes of the Bo Kaap, Oranjezicht, Tamboerskloof and Gardens provide hours of easy meanderings, restaurants and historical sights.

The city centre lies encircled by these suburbs that, the closer one gets to the mountain, the steeper they become, so that Higgovale and Oranjezicht lie right up on the slopes of Table Mountain. Did you know? On the third Saturday of every month the Cape Town Partnership provides a free Cape Town City Bowl walking tour starting at the Company’s Garden along St George’s Mall to Waterkant Street, up the Fan Walk and on to St Andrew’s Square, making this an ideal overnight destination, so choose your City Bowl accommodation now.
