The new Five star Dock House Boutique hotel is situated opposite the graceful timeball tower and the hotel’s sister property, the renowned Victoria & Alfred Hotel, in the Waterfront’s Portswood Precinct.

Originally the Dock House was built as a Harbour Master’s private residence in the 1800’s but has recently been transformed into one of Cape Town’s most exclusive and elegant boutique hotels.

Other assets of the Horizon Hotels boutique include the well known gourmet destinations Salt restaurant in the Ambassador Hotel in Bantry Bay and OYO restaurant in the V&A Hotel in the Waterfront.

Decorated with a monochromatic palette, soft grey and white predominates in the new boutique hotel, and it creates a contemporary feel within an area filled with history.

It’s sophisticated luxury holiday living with butler-style service, private check-in, cutting-edge technology, wellness and world-class entertainment.
