Sabi Sabi Collection, a renowned family-owned luxury safari brand, is embarking on an exciting new chapter with the debut of The Claremont Boutique Hotel in Cape Town this September. This marks the brand’s first foray beyond its renowned safari lodges in the Greater Kruger area, heralding a fresh direction for the company and offering a distinctive blend of cosmopolitan elegance and African luxury.

Unbeatable Location in Cape Town’s Prestigious Claremont District

Located in the prestigious suburb of Claremont, The Claremont Boutique Hotel offers guests the unique opportunity to stay in one of Cape Town’s most desirable neighborhoods. Situated just beneath the magnificent Table Mountain and in close proximity to the famous Cape Winelands, the hotel is perfectly positioned for travelers seeking both natural beauty and urban charm. The surrounding area boasts picturesque streets, high-end boutiques, gourmet cafes, and an easy connection to some of Cape Town’s top attractions, including vineyards, beaches, and cultural landmarks.

An Elegant Blend of History and Contemporary Style

Set in a beautifully restored 1920s manor house, The Claremont seamlessly merges the elegance of its historical past with the sophistication of modern luxury. The boutique hotel offers 15 meticulously designed rooms, each a unique reflection of classic style combined with contemporary comfort. Guests can opt for the Deluxe or Classic rooms, both of which offer beautiful interiors and thoughtful amenities. For a more indulgent experience, the Sauer Suite offers a private pool and a separate entrance, providing an intimate and elevated stay in the heart of the city.

The building’s design pays homage to its rich history while ensuring a contemporary, stylish atmosphere. Every corner of the hotel is crafted to offer an exceptional experience, combining Cape Town’s heritage with the renowned attention to detail that Sabi Sabi is known for.

A Rich Array of Exceptional Amenities

The Claremont offers a selection of first-class amenities that enhance the overall guest experience. The Safari Lounge provides a chic and comfortable space for guests to relax, with an inviting atmosphere that embodies the hotel’s sophisticated charm. The Garden Conservatory, filled with greenery, is a peaceful oasis where guests can unwind, sip drinks, or enjoy a moment of calm.

The hotel’s culinary offerings include the Veld & Vine Bistro, which emphasizes locally sourced ingredients and the authentic flavors of Cape Town. The farm-to-fork concept highlights fresh, seasonal produce, offering guests a chance to experience the rich food culture of the region. The 1928 Craft Bar is another notable feature, catering to wine connoisseurs with a fine selection of local and international wines. Whether sipping a glass of Cape Town’s finest or enjoying a cocktail, the bar provides the perfect setting for relaxation.

Additionally, The Claremont offers a spa and café for ultimate rejuvenation and relaxation, ensuring every guest can unwind in style. Whether indulging in a luxurious spa treatment or simply enjoying a coffee in the café, the hotel provides an atmosphere of tranquility and indulgence.

Expanding the Sabi Sabi Legacy Beyond the Kruger

While The Claremont Boutique Hotel marks a new chapter for Sabi Sabi in the urban hospitality scene, it is only the beginning of the brand’s growth. The next exciting development in the collection’s expansion is the Sandringham Private Game Reserve in South Africa’s Limpopo province. Set to open in Summer 2026, the reserve is being transformed from a former hunting ground into a sustainable safari destination and biosphere. Sandringham will offer guests an immersive experience in South Africa’s wild landscapes, focusing on wildlife conservation and providing a unique opportunity to explore nature while staying in luxurious accommodations.

A Bright Future for Sabi Sabi

With the opening of The Claremont, Sabi Sabi is bringing its signature luxury experience to Cape Town, offering travelers a fresh perspective on the brand’s renowned safari hospitality. Combining rich history, exceptional design, and world-class amenities, The Claremont Boutique Hotel is set to become a premier destination in the city. This expansion, alongside the upcoming Sandringham Private Game Reserve, further solidifies Sabi Sabi’s reputation for offering unparalleled luxury, whether in the heart of Cape Town or in the vast South African wilderness.
