Palm House Boutique Hotel & Spa, an urban retreat in Cape Town’s historic Upper Wynberg, offers a serene escape close to Table Mountain and Constantia’s vineyards. This storied property, now reimagined under new ownership by Max Jong and Shelagh Wood, blends timeless charm with modern elegance. The recent renovation respects the original architecture while introducing contemporary touches like herringbone floors, bespoke wallpapers, and curated artwork, creating a luxurious yet homey atmosphere.
Max and Shelagh, who took over in mid-2023, have revitalised the property, emphasising comfort and sophistication. The hotel features elegant rooms and suites in the main house and lush gardens, including Garden Suites with private lounges and patios and the Deluxe King Suite with panoramic views of the hotel gardens and Table Mountain.
The culinary experience, led by executive chef Gregory Henderson, includes casual all-day dining at Palm Terrace and refined evening meals at de Tafel. The Palm Terrace offers inventive small plates and an afternoon tea service, while de Tafel presents seasonal, sustainable dishes focusing on local flavours. An extensive wine list and foraging excursions enhance the dining experience.
The Açaí Spa, managed by Leandra de Villiers, offers a range of treatments, including the signature Palm Journey and unique Banya Sauna. With personalised service and a focus on wellness, Palm House Boutique Hotel & Spa promises a memorable stay in one of Cape Town’s most charming locales.
