Atlantic House

Cape Town, South Africa

Atlantic House is a five-star guesthouse perched on the slopes of the Twelve Apostles in Camps Bay along Cape Town's Atlantic seaboard, and it truly is a haven of simplicity and style. It appears to be a smart residential property; inside, too, it has the charming air of being a private home. 'Boutique' isn't quite the right word to describe a hideaway such as this, since it doesn't convey that it is an elegant, calm space in which to relax and unwind. It's the sort of place an international business traveller weary of posh hotels would consider an antidote, and a retreat an attention-shy celebrity would adore.
